YouthSafe Australia
NSW, AU
Youthsafe partners to prevent unintentional injury of young Australians.
About
Youthsafe's award-winning programs offer practical tools and provide strength-based strategies to assist young people as well as those in a position of influence in their lives. Youth Safety Programs favours evidence-based approaches that create supportive, strong environments to address injury prevention in the context in which that injury occurs. This encourages young people to take safe and calculated risks as well as build capacity and self-efficacy over time.
Youthsafe knows that fear appeals and shock tactics are not effective in stopping young people from taking unsafe risks and won’t lead to positive behaviour change. In addition, using education in isolation of other structural or systemic improvements will not better outcomes for individuals.
