Youth19 co-lead A.Prof Terryann (TC) Clark (Ngāpuhi) shared Youth19 family violence findings in a Northern Advocate article this week.

From TC: “The general public think that youth violence is getting worse, but our data highlights that, in general, youth report fewer experiences of violence and bullying compared to previous years. However, it is concerning that young people who are exposed to poverty are more likely to be exposed to violence in their homes and communities. Addressing poverty remains a significant issue in reducing exposure to distressing environments for young people in Aotearoa.”
