Speakers:
Trish Connolly: CEO YFoundations (Peak body for Youth Homelessness)
About Trish:
Trish has an extensive background in homelessness and domestic abuse policy, research service design, and service system reform in both the Australian and UK contexts. She has worked across a broad range of sectors, including the NSW State Government, UK Government, peak bodies, non-government/frontline service providers and charities. Trish was also a member of the Yfoundations Board in 2014–15 to provide expertise on impacts and best practice approaches for young people experiencing domestic and family violence.
Trish is passionate about working in the youth homelessness sector, strongly committed to ending homelessness, and focused on developing a systemic approach to address the fundamental issues that contribute to youth homelessness.
A key advocacy objective for Yfoundations is to get unaccompanied children and young people experiencing domestic, family and sexual violence onto the political and policy landscape. We must ask the questions: Why hasn’t this happened yet? Why are unaccompanied children and young people excluded and overlooked in national and state strategies responding to DFSV? And how do we change this situation going forward?
Sophie Gillfeather-Spetere: Senior Project Officer, ANROWS (Australia's National Research Organisation)
About Sophie:
Sophie Gillfeather-Spetere has an MCS from the Department of Gender and Cultural Studies at the University of Sydney, where her research focused on the role of feeling, policy and practices on young parents' experiences with government and non-government organisations in Australia. She is a former public servant who worked across policy and practice with children and young people, particularly in the child protection and out-of-home care systems. She currently works at Australia's National Research Organisation for Women's Safety (ANROWS), where she focuses on evidence translation for policymakers and practitioners. She will share latest evidence from ANROWS on young people's experiences of domestic and family violence, including implications for housing precarity.
