Research suggests that the dimensions of childhood maltreatment (type, age of onset, duration, frequency and perpetrator) play an important role in determining health and wellbeing outcomes, though little information is available on these dimensions for any care experienced cohorts.
This webinar explored how programs develop, implement, and facilitate groupwork programs to effectively work with young people. We heard from Laura Crozier about the Yeah, Nah Affirmative Consent program, developed by young people for young people. We also heard from a panel of specialist AVITH providers who participated in a facilitated question and answer session regarding considerations around delivering groupwork for young people who use violence in the home.
This study assessed the cumulative impact of childhood maltreatment, substance use, and neurocognitive ability (working memory, cognitive flexibility, decision making, response inhibition, and cognitive control) on aggressive behaviour in adulthood.

In Victoria, young person violence has typically been viewed through the lens of intergenerational family violence. Many specialist AVITH practitioners here report that many of the young people they work with are neurodivergent. Is it time to consider new ways of conceptualising this issue to bring about changes in language, prevention and response? Panellists discuss considerations for working with young people who use violence in the home and their families through a trauma-informed and neuro-affirmative lens.
