Snapshot of supports for at risk young people in our region

/in , /by

This Regional Snapshot aims to help build understanding about the profile of young people, including at risk young people, in the Cockburn, Melville and Fremantle region and insights about issues, needs, responses and emerging initiatives. The Snapshot also includes information on the wider context impacting young people, state and local strategies and plans, youth homelessness and service responses.

The Snapshot was prepared for Imagined Futures and St Patrick’s Community Support Centre (St Pat’s) by Pauline Logan Consulting to share with the Imagined Futures network and to inform the St Pat’s Youth Place Review and exploration of opportunities and gaps for supporting at risk young people in the region.

The Snapshot draws on demographic information, research and consultations by YACWA for the City of Cockburn, City of Fremantle, City of Melville to inform their respective Youth Strategies, a brief desk top exploration and insights from the Imagined Futures network and consultations with the Imagined Futures – Youth Initiative Working Group, and representatives from CREATE Foundation, Y-Shac (Anglicare), SMYL Community Services, headspace Fremantle, Cockburn Youth Centre (City of Cockburn) and the City of Fremantle (Community Development team).
