| Summary |
"This report will provide the reader with an understanding of the key early intervention framework that underpins the Geelong Project. A high degree of fidelity to the effective features of the Reconnect Program has been maintained in the Project. Recognising that conflict within the family home is often a precursor to running away, services are provided not only to at-risk young people but to their families as well. The Geelong Project model is explained in detail, which will highlight how early intervention is achieved through a combination of population screening to identify need and a "community of schools and youth services" approach. Results from the pilot implementation of this innovative model of early intervention are presented and discussed." -- overview, page xv |
