Youth Safety Programs To Avoid Injuries | Youthsafe

Youth injury impacts the short and long-term health of those injured and their families and is a huge burden on the Australian health system.

Through its partnerships, Youthsafe seeks to build long-term, youth-focused change by building family and community capacity to reduce youth injury.

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.
