AASW Recording | Postcards from Practice: Learnings from practice with violence, abuse and trauma

Youth-perpetrated violence is a complex, serious and growing issue requiring contextualised response.

The ‘Name. Narrate. Navigate (NNN)’ program, a preventive intervention providing psychoeducation and skill development for young people with increased risk of, or already using violence in interpersonal, family and domestic relationships and the practitioners who support them.

Developed and continuously improved by community-based-participatory-research involving Aboriginal elders, community members, practitioners and young people – NNN emphasises trauma-informed, culturally-responsive and parallel process in practice.

This webinar will highlight findings from the program that contribute new knowledge for prevention intervention including drivers of youth violence, insights into intergenerational violence, abuse and trauma and experiences of the cross-over cohort of victims and perpetrators. It will also highlight tensions in the work and learnings for practitioners in managing positionality and assumptions we bring to our work about what is possible and probable for young people who perpetrate violence.

This webinar was presented by the AASW NSW Branch.
