In this webinar, Dr Dave Burck (Uni of Qld) brings young people’s voices to the forefront, with young people and mothers describing their lived experience of adolescent-to-mother violence in their own words. Dave focuses on how young people and their mothers understand and make sense of adolescent violence, in cases where the family has already experienced domestic and intimate partner violence by an adult perpetrator.
This resource is for professionals and practitioners working with adolescents using or at risk of using violence and their families. It is aimed at practitioners who need to assess the risk of adolescents engaging in violence in the future or who wish to support adolescents who have started using aggressive behaviours.
In this session, we hear from researchers from Deakin University, who investigated the links between childhood maltreatment and aggression in adults, and the moderating role of neurocognitive ability and substance use. While this research does not look specifically at young people, some of the findings have obvious implications for our work with younger cohorts.
‘I don't know what is autism, what is normal teenage behaviour, and what is naughtiness’. This article presents findings from a UK-based qualitative study that explored parents/carers experiences of child to parent violence (CPV) from their child who has a neurodevelopmental difference.
Researchers analysed data from 463 public comments posted on YouTube in response to four UK news broadcasts that reported on the problem. Using a discourse analytic approach, we examined how posted comments framed the cause of, and solutions to, CPV.
Examining data from in-depth interviews with 15 mothers who experience CPV, this article explores how mothers construct themselves as a ‘safe space’ through which their child can manage their distress. The tensions and emotional conflicts this produces for mothers, as well as the harms that result, are highlighted. Discussion focusses on the usefulness of understanding family violence from an ‘ethics of care’ framework, and the implications for violence prevention through broader social change.
Research findings highlight the importance of early interventions for young people who use violence against their siblings, and the missed opportunities within current responses to address the increased risk of future perpetration of intimate partner violence.
This webinar explores how to have difficult conversations with young people about school. We hear from Associate Professor Lisa McKay-Brown (University of Melbourne) and Tiffany Westphal (Student Stress Investigation) on considerations for working with young people who have low school attendance and their families.
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.
