Healthy Development Adelaide

Join us for the Healthy Development Adelaide (HDA) event on Reimagining Child Protection and Family Support in South Australia – Panel Discussion.

This event is held in conjunction with our partner organisation the Department for Child Protection on Tuesday 3 September, 5.30-8.00pm, The Braggs G60 lecture theatre, Braggs building, Ground floor, University of Adelaide, Victoria Drive, Adelaide.

In communities across South Australia, difficult issues impact children and young people - intergenerational trauma, substance misuse, domestic violence, poverty, housing stress and mental ill-health.

In the face of these issues, government and other organisations have a statutory responsibility to protect and help keep children and young people safe. But we also have a collective responsibility to do more – to provide support, nurture and care.

Imagine what could be achieved if complexities and challenges were tackled with everyone supporting families, through a collaborative approach between government, other organisations and community.

Please join the Minister for Child Protection, non-government organisation and community representatives for a panel discussion about the role everyone can play in improving the lives of children, young people and their families and transforming the system to help enable all children and young people and their families to reach their full potential.
