It is my job to help their voices be recognised and heard.In marking my office's fifteenth anniversary, I wanted to showcase the incredible stories of children and young people who are making a difference in their communities.In my discussions across the State, I hear many inspiring stories of children and young people who are helping shape their schools, towns and wider communities. Many have shown great courage in the face of adversity, and it is these experiences which have often driven them to want to make the world a better place for others.This booklet celebrates just a handful of stories of everyday leaders who are making an impact in their communities.I hope these stories will inspire others to take action towards their goals, no matter how big or small. Whether it be to help others, start something new, or decide to speak up, everyone can play a part.Thank you to all fifteen children and young people for allowing us to share their personal stories.Jacqueline McGowan-JonesCommissioner for Children and Young People

Foster youth are more prone to experience short- and long-term adverse developmental outcomes including diminished academic achievement and career opportunities, poor mental and overall health, financial struggles, homelessness, early sexual intercourse, and substance abuse, many of these outcomes are risk factors for involvement in the juvenile justice system. Despite their challenges, foster youth have numerous strengths and positive assets that carry them through their journeys, helping them to overcome obstacles and build resilience. The Handbook of Foster Youth brings together a prominent group of multidisciplinary experts to provide nuanced insights on the complex dynamics of the foster care system, its impact on youth’s lives, and the roles of institutions and policies in the foster system. It discusses current gaps and future directions as well as recommendations to advance the field. This book provides an opportunity to reflect on the many challenges and strengths of foster youth and the child welfare system, and the combined efforts of caregivers, community volunteers, policy makers, and the professionals and researchers who work with them.

Download or read book Young People Using Family Violence written by Kate Fitz-Gibbon and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-08 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the use of violence by children and young people in family settings and proposes specialised and age-appropriate responses to these children and young people It interrogates the adequacy and effectiveness of current service and justice system responses, including analysis of police, court and specialist service responses. It proposes new approaches to children and young people who use violence that are evidence based, non-punitive, and informed by an understanding of the complexity of needs and the importance of age appropriate service responses. Bringing together a range of Australian and International experts, it sheds new light on questions such as: How can we best understand and respond to the use of family violence by young people? To what extent do traditional family violence responses address the experiences of adolescents who use violence in family settings? What barriers to help seeking exist for parental and sibling victims of adolescent family violence? To what degree do existing support and justice services provide adequate responses to those using adolescent family violence and their families? In what circumstances do children kill their biological and adopted parents? The explicit focus on child and adolescent family violence produces new knowledge in the area of family violence, which will be of relevance to academics, policy makers and family violence practitioners in Australia and internationally.
