A panel of speakers explore how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) impact people including an association with homelessness in later life.
How can we design a system where genuine prevention of ACEs helps to prevent substance use issues, mental health issues, behavioural challenges, poverty and homelessness?
There are opportunities for genuinely joined-up policy and investment to change our trajectory in fields such as education, employment, youth justice, child protection, health, and housing outcomes.
Speakers include:
Luke Twyford – Principal Commissioner Family and Child Commission
Professor Selena Bartlett – Neuroscientist QUT
Dr Fiona Oates – Q Shelter Regional Service Integration Lead and Adjunct Research Fellow, James Cook University
Murray Benton – Q Shelter Sector Capacity Lead and member of the Child Death Review Board.
