​AOT Team Making Inroads in the Community

The Assertive Outreach Team has made strong inroads in the Peel region communities with staff being invited to help deliver programs in schools.
 
Ashley, our female Aboriginal Youth Worker is getting well known as someone young people relate to and has been approached by a local not for profit organisation to co-facilitate an Early Intervention Program for girls at Pinjarra Senior High School - "Keeping Us Safe"- utilising some of the concepts of Canadian model "Safe4Kids" promoting protective behaviours, awareness, consent, boundaries, online safety and self-care.
 
Ashley is experienced in helping young people with mental health and alcohol and other drugs (AOD) issues and she is working across several high schools in the region including Fairbridge, Coodanup and Waroona to engage with students and support Aboriginal youth.
