To commemorate our 20th birthday, on Thurs 24 Oct the ACCP would like to share some of our work, findings & resources with the sector through a 1-day online Symposium, free of charge. The full program will be announced soon. Reserve your place here: https://t.co/kjIgUK1kUv

Most of us take a stable childhood for granted, but for people raised in foster care, challenges with mental health issues, alcohol and substance abuse increase their risks of #homelessness as adults. New research from @ACCPUniSA & @CurtinUni explains why: https://t.co/XahL9ePPjS
