Tackling the tough issues for youth (CSU program)

An educational program designed to assist local communities in dealing with confronting issues for young people is being rolled out across large parts of regional NSW by Charles Sturt University (CSU). Developed in regional Queensland by solicitor Mr Adair Donaldson, CSU last year secured the first licence in NSW to roll out the Putting Youth in the Picture program across the local government areas in its regions. “This program is about empowering local communities through their local councils, school or sporting groups to use the program’s resources to hopefully prevent their young people from getting into difficulties,” said Manager of Residential Operations at CSU, Mr Peter Bell. http://news.csu.edu.au/director/latestnews.cfm?itemID=04F0A2E7D30A7620A909AD8010DF302B&printtemplate=release
