ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS: Theories, Models and Best Practice in Prevention

Submissions on the broad issue of primary prevention are invited. They may be theoretical, policy-based, research-based or practice-based. The Program Committee is particularly keen to receive submissions on successful models and best practice examples of prevention. Besides the three themes of the Conference (below), submissions may address prevention in relation to themes in the ARACY Report Card, such as health and safety; education; training and employment; peer and family relationships; behaviours and risks; participation; and the environment. Those making submissions are encouraged to involve young people in a meaningful way in the development and delivery of presentations. While the focus is on improving the wellbeing of children and youth, relevant examples of prevention from other sectors are welcome.
