The Blueprint Documentary and Lived Experience Panel
The documentary considers the complex web of factors leading to youth offending and crime such as family and peer dynamics, community marginalisation, identity, mental health, and social media. By hearing directly from young people, the documentary explores how these factors impact their behaviour, sense of belonging, and relationship with services as well as the supports they relied on to break the cycle of offending.
The presentation will also include the launch of the new BP363 Bachelor of Social Science with majors in Youth Work and Mental Health & Wellbeing.
Light refreshments will be provided.
