Their Journey Home Epidsode 1 Escaping Family Violence is now live

When home is not a safe place, where do you go? In this episode, we explore the complex issue of family violence and how it pushes young people into homelessness.

A collaborative report The Cost of Youth Homelessness in Australia Study found that 56% of young people experiencing homelessness had to leave home due to domestic violence on at least one occasion.

We dive deep into the causes and effects of this statistic with our guests, a young person with lived experience of family violence and Kate van Hooft, Family Violence Multi-Agency Risk Management Project Lead at Melbourne City Mission.

Produced by young people for young people, Their Journey Home puts a spotlight on the challenges three of the most overrepresented communities face in Victoria’s youth homelessness system.
