Thousands of young people who were arrested during anti-government demonstrations in Hong Kong are being offered self-help advice.
Many have criminal records - a barrier to finding a job - while others are frustrated about the changes to their lives since being arrested.
A group called Project Change has stepped in to assist dozens of arrested protesters by providing life-planning, counselling and legal support.
There are also calls to expand the rehabilitation law to help the protesters move on.
Al Jazeera’s Britt Clennett reports from Hong Kong.
