Breaking the Cycle – a free webinar
Event description
Youth justice in Australia is never far from front-page news. Amid calls for reform that would help young people find positive pathways away from offending, we zoom out, and ask: how do young people find themselves swept up in the criminal justice system?
Worth A Second Chance is hosting a free, interactive webinar that will untangle the complex web of factors that crystallise offending behaviour – covering disadvantage and trauma; negative social influences; neurology and impulsivity; institutionalisation; and the split moment in time where we’re all capable of making the wrong decision.
We’ll hear first-hand from a young person with lived experience of the criminal justice system, then short presentations and an interactive Q+A session with an expert panel to be announced.
Register now to secure your spot at this online webinar on Tuesday 7 March, 4-5:30pm AEDT.
