On 10 October, Mental Health Day 2019, the UWA Public Policy Institute held a public seminar involving child trauma experts Dr Howard Bath, formerly the Northern Territory Children’s Commissioner, and UWA’s Professor Helen Milroy, a Commissioner in the Child Abuse Royal Commission. Both speakers shared their extensive experience in trauma-informed practice and discussed the roles schools can play in supporting the mental health of children and young people.
- Topics included:
Strategies that help prevent the cycle of adversity being faced by many children and young people. - The ‘why’ behind violence, bullying and the increasing mental health challenges being faced by children and young people.
- Responses by schools and communities that are most likely to positively impact the whole school community.
