Pathways to sustainability - Understanding and preventing youth homelessness

Homelessness poses a grave and largely preventable challenge. Children and young people facing homelessness encounter significant challenges that compromise their safety and health as well as the potential for a brighter future. The Australian Homelessness Cohort Consortium is pioneering a collaborative effort, merging population-based longitudinal studies to uncover the pathways into and out of homelessness, from childhood through adulthood.
In this engaging webinar, Associate Professor Jess Heerde will share the preliminary findings and highlight how this consortium is using data to combat child and adolescent homelessness. Joining Jess will be Kate Colvin, CEO of Homelessness Australia, who will provide insights into why this research is so vital and what more can be done to address this urgent issue. Professor Susan Sawyer, Director of the Centre for Adolescent Health at Murdoch Children's Research Institute, will lend her expertise in adolescent health and medicine to moderate our panel discussion and Q&A session.
