Activity details
Continue to work in partnership with Canberra Police Community Youth Club to deliver the Solid Ground Pilot Program to support young people aged 11 to 18, with experiences of domestic and family violence. Solid Ground focuses on mentoring, stronger connections to community, upskilling safe and respectful relationships, an informed understanding of unhealthy attitudes about relationships and gender-based biases, and an increase of emotional awareness and management.
Implementation progress update
The Solid Ground pilot supporting young people aged 11–18 impacted by family violence, has been funded for a further 4 years to 2029. An evaluation in 2024 found the program is cost-effective, builds protective factors for young people and reduces future risk of experiencing or using violence. For more information see Canberra PCYC – Project Solid Ground.
