In the youth justice space, "prison health is public health." But Dr Hayley Passmore’s research shows we have a massive hurdle to clear first: basic awareness.
Her survey found:
⚠️ 20% of youth justice workers hadn't heard of Autism
⚠️ 22% hadn't heard of FASD
These frontline professionals are working with neurodivergent populations daily. They deserve the skills and information to support these young people effectively.

The justice system is part of community health with more overlap than one might expect. So just as we've done with healthcare, how can we shift our approach in justice settings to be more preventative and proactive rather than reactive? It starts with support.
