When we see homeless youth on the street, we often question what they did to end up there, instead of questioning what they may be escaping from. Three 30-second radio spots used sound design to change perceptions toward homeless youth, by making the street seem like a better option than home when you're faced with parents who are abusive, suffer from addiction, or don't accept you for who you are.
