A qualitative approach was applied, with data collected through six semi-structured video-call interviews.

The findings reveal both opportunities and challenges for collaboration: shared goals and leadership enable cooperation, while time constraints, confidentiality regulations, and differing professional priorities create obstacles. The study concludes that enabling and constraining factors often overlap, highlighting the importance of clear structures, shared understanding, and contextual awareness in interagency work with at-risk youth.
