Join the AVITH in Context Webinar: Reframing Young Person Violence: Neuroaffirmative Practice
Canada’s National Consortium on Aggression towards Family and Caregivers in Childhood and Adolescence (AFCCA) avoids using the term ‘violence’ for behaviours in children and youth, focusing on trauma-informed and neuroaffirmative practices. In Victoria, youth violence is often seen through the lens of intergenerational family violence, but many AVITH practitioners note a link with neurodivergence.
- How can trauma-informed approaches learn from fields like occupational therapy?
- How can we foster cross-disciplinary responses and systems to better support young people and their families?
- How do we address this without stigma?
Join Allison Cox (Berry Street) and Jessica Wright (Australian Childhood Foundation) to explore trauma-informed, neuroaffirmative approaches to youth violence in the home. Audience Q&A to follow.
