The UWA Public Policy Institute proudly presents another in its series of public lectures.On 10 October, Mental Health Day 2019, the Institute held a public seminar involving child trauma experts Dr Howard Bath, formerly the Northern Territory Children’s Commissioner, and UWA’s Professor Helen Milroy, a Commissioner in the Child Abuse Royal Commission. Both speakers shared their extensive experience in trauma-informed practice and discussed the role that schools can play in supporting the mental health of children and young people.Topics included: • Strategies that help prevent the cycle of adversity being faced by many children and young people • The ‘why’ behind violence, bullying and the increasing mental health challenges being faced by children and young people • Responses by schools and communities that are most likely to positively impact the whole school community.﹏The University of Western Australia (UWA) is recognised internationally as a top 100 university.
