ABSTRACT
Catherine Mann and Dr Rebecca Duell, Brisbane Youth Service
Brisbane Youth Service (BYS) has completed comprehensive intake assessments with all young people accessing the service for ongoing planned support over the past 7 years.
Domestic and family violence (DFV) includes family violence (FV) and intimate partner violence (IPV). BYS has collected self-reported experience of FV and IPV data from everyone accessing ongoing planned support since 2015. We’ve analysed this data to compare demographic factors such as age, gender, cultural identities, sexuality, experience of disability, and parenthood.
Over, 2,800 young people provided information about their parenting status and experience of FV and IPV at intake. This factsheet summarises the FV and IPV data for young parents. Over the 7 years, 23% of young people supported by BYS were young parents at intake.
