Legislative and Practice Approaches to Improve Permanency for Children and Young People in Out-of-Home Care in NSW
No full textThe Queensland Family and Child Commission (QFCC) is currently exploring the legislative and practice approaches being undertaken by other jurisdictions in Australia to improve permanency for children in out of home care (OOHC) for whom returning to the care of their birth parents is not an option.
This paper explores the out-of-home care system, and system reforms in New South Wales (NSW). It includes key statistics relating to children in out-of-home care in New South Wales, and outlines evidence supporting the importance of permanency. Permanency planning relates to the decision by authorising governing bodies to permanently place children and young people with a family that is deemed to be able to adequately provide for the child and young person’s education, health, safety and general wellbeing that results in any unlikely future moves to other placements, giving children and young people in OOHC a greater sense of security and stability.
This paper was written by student Ms Lisa Keegan from Griffith University as the part of a trial summer scholar program initiative between Griffith University and the QFCC.No Full Tex

Using Neuroscience, Contemporary methods and Traditional Wisdom in Building Well-being in Long Term Unemployed Youth
No full textOverview: The Empowering Youth to Thrive (EYTT) program seeks to answer the question whether the combination of Neuroscience, Contemporary Methodologies and Traditional Wisdom can improve the wellbeing of long-term unemployed youth enough to help them move into earning or learning. Rationale: Long-term unemployed youth have traditionally been a difficult group to shift toward pro-social/wellbeing habits. Using neuroscience, especially the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics, as an underlying scientific basis for helping and healing young people, EYTT explored layering contemporary and traditional modalities on top of the understandings of neuroscience. EYTT has shown that using Contemporary Methods, such as Art Therapy, Cross-lateral movements, Fitness, Mindfulness and Social & Emotional Learning, and Traditional Wisdom elements such as stories, mythology, social protocols, Rites of Passage and ceremony/ritual can successfully shape and form youth in the development of pro-social and wellbeing habits. Objectives: Participants will: gain an understanding of innovative ways of using Neuroscience; hear and learn why stories are essential for human wellbeing and change; take away practical ideas from Traditional Wisdom that work across the three levels of social, ceremonial and spiritual; and explore creative ways of measuring outcomes in youth programs. Session Summary: James Ryan will present the EYTT project and outline the Neuroscience, Contemporary Methodologies, and Traditional Wisdom components. Lisa Keegan will explain the research methods and findings, and interesting program statistics. Sam Okoth will guide practical Traditional Wisdom elements including M’bas, Drumming and Way of Circle, while demonstrating positive brain changes using EEG headsets.Full Tex
