This report investigates the link between childhood experiences of domestic and family violence (DFV) and youth suicide in Queensland. It explores individual and family factors along with DFV related service system contacts of young people under the age of 18 years who died by suicide in Queensland between 2020-2021. It is intended to enhance understanding about the opportunities for trauma-informed, holistic cross-agency intervention and suicide prevention that recognises and addresses child-centred support and recovery needs when children are identified as residing in a household experiencing DFV.
Early-onset parent-directed aggression (i.e., beginning in childhood as opposed to adolescence) may be that which uniquely persists and generalises into adult relationships. It is therefore critical to understand early onset parent-directed aggression to prevent the intergenerational transmission of family violence.
This page by the Alcohol and Drug Foundation (ADF) links to a mini bulletin that explores co‑occurring conditions, barriers young people face when seeking help, and practical tips for having conversations about the relationship between AOD use and mental health.
This webinar explored clinical and research perspectives on the characteristics of youth presenting with co-occurring substance use and mental health conditions across different settings. It also highlighted approaches to integrated care and examined developmental factors that influence how these issues emerge, affect and progress in young people.
Early intervention is important to ensure children living in care get access to the best evidence-based mental health treatment before reaching crisis point. This blog shares new findings that suggest current UK practice may not be sufficient for identifying children in care struggling with their mental health – and we suggest what might help improve things.
Objective of this piece was to examine associations between different forms of childhood EDV and health service utilisation.
This interdisciplinary workshop drew together practitioners, advocates and researchers from a range of disciplines to share insights on the nature, dynamics and extent of family violence-related suicides.
This paper proposes a model of early-onset parent-directed aggression that is specific to behavioral development in childhood.
This study links family violence to women’s suicide, showing how coercive control, housing insecurity, and systemic failures increase risk. It calls for better recognition of family violence in coronial processes.
