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. Not only for the justice-involved, but for those providing support on the front-line as well.

Dr Hayley Passmore is a Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Western Australia Law School and a justice health researcher. Join us as we speak about Hayley's journey to justice health, reframing how we support youth and neurodisability in our communities, and how these human-centred approaches create better outcomes for everyone.

When I met Craig he was 13 and homeless. I still thought his life might turn around. I was tragically wrong.

I knew he was running away from something. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered the truth.
