Multicultural Youth and the Family Violence System

Multicultural Youth and the Family Violence SystemCentre for Multicultural Youth is holding an online forum to develop a deeper understanding of the experience of family violence in young multicultural people. This is a forum to explore gaps and opportunities when providing services to multicultural young people experiencing family violence. This forum will be online on the morning of Thursday, 9 December 2021.


Centre for Multicultural Youth is seeking to develop a deeper understanding of the experience of family violence in the lives of multicultural young people. Our first step is to gather information about the gaps in the service system, from the perspective of multicultural young people and service providers, so that we can better support prevention, early intervention, and crisis responses.

This state-wide forum will start a conversation about the barriers, gaps and opportunities when providing services to multicultural young people experiencing family violence, through strength-based conversations with panelists, young people and the sector more broadly.

Please join us!
