Vulnerable Males Project
This project is focused upon early intervention for vulnerable males. This project seeks to support efforts to reduce domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, and suicide by focusing on males experiencing divorce and separation, generational or military service induced post-traumatic stress. There are direct links to government commitments to reduce domestic and family violence, supporting veterans and their families, and the South Australian Suicide Prevention Plan.
Offenders and Prisoners with Disability Early Identification Project
