Darwin Youth Services has successfully implemented the I Respect Domestic and Family Violence Prevention youth program on the Tiwi Islands for the past 18 months, engaging young people in meaningful discussions and activities that promote respect, healthy relationships, and violence prevention.
Through a culturally responsive approach, DYS collaborated with local community leaders, schools, and service providers to ensure the program was relevant and impactful for Tiwi youth. Interactive workshops, storytelling, and creative activities empowered participants with knowledge and practical skills to recognize and address domestic and family violence.
This program has contributed to building safer, more respectful communities by equipping the young people in Melville Island with the tools to challenge harmful behaviors and advocate for positive change. We look forward to continuing this work and expanding its impact in the region. This pilot has been funded through federal funding – SHFPACT Family Planning.
