Alternatives to prisons https://t.co/ysuet8e1T9

[Youthlaw @YouthlawVic]

Yes. Alternatives to prison for kids under 13 or unsentenced will free up resources to respond therapeutically to violent young offenders. https://t.co/PgAJbBMnE6

Fantastic approach to helping young people break the cycle https://t.co/i0DX8NmJbc

Evidence shows community based programs are more appropriate for young ppl and have a greater impact on recidivism. https://t.co/eQjR76W1Zk

[Tara Ellis @bohemia267]

I agree https://t.co/Zc5Glx4ovE

[Mission Australia @MissionAust]

Evidence-based justice reinvestment is smarter approach. Invest in communities not prisons. #BackingBourke #4Corners https://t.co/mvdQGRGcui

Young people ARE our future https://t.co/XyyBAi64Iq

[Mission Australia @MissionAust]

Young people are our future. We must give them the best chance to overcome barriers limiting entry into work https://t.co/pL1iWJnB5y

#YWK1101 Networking and educating ourselves is so important in helping young people to the best of our ability.

[Tara Ellis @bohemia267]

@IanHooperECU @br33zy81 @Louise50048794 Not cherry picked but I can see that the different models all have worth

[Tara Ellis @bohemia267]

So important! Urgent funding required to increase beds in residential rehab facilities in WA. https://t.co/XxxRDttPTU

[WANADA @WANADAFYI]

Urgent funding is needed for AOD treatment in WA - see our letter in the West today @westaustralian #wanews

Suicide among young people is the biggest killer. Remember to ask someone if they are ok #RUOKDay https://t.co/IDQNADBynu

[Youthlaw @YouthlawVic]

Suicide is the biggest killer of Australians aged 15 to 24. Remember to ask someone if they're ok #RUOKday

[Tara Ellis @bohemia267]

@sharni_28 Yes fantastic

[Tara Ellis @bohemia267]

@tjnmwest yes and we all have a different natural manner which could potentially effect the way we are perceived by others

[Tara Ellis @bohemia267]

@nikkidavo90 I don't think so but as long as you keep an open mind. I feel like I would be more reform but it depends on the circumstances

[Tara Ellis @bohemia267]

@Louise50048794 Yes I agree and I'm sure youth workers probably do depending on circumstances.

[Tara Ellis @bohemia267]

#YWK1101 This weeks models, treatment and reform left me reflecting on my views. I can see how both are needed but preferring reform model

[Tara Ellis @bohemia267]

@tjnmwest Yes I agree, I felt the role play was a good way to see the different approaches and reflect on what potentially worked and didn't

[Tara Ellis @bohemia267]

@bohemia267 As suggested in week6 reading "our task as Informal Educators is to work alongside people so that they may learn for themselves"
