As we announced last month, we were very excited to that our One Million Stars to end violence (led by Bayside City Council) project was announced as a finalist at the 2017 VicHealth Awards. Winners were announced on 5 December and, while the project didn't win in the nominated category, it was highly commended by the judges!
SMPCP is excited to announce that we have been selected as the lead agency to establish an Elder Abuse Prevention Network (EAPN) within our catchment.
The Royal Commission into Family Violence recognised elder abuse as a particular form of family violence and developed a number of recommendations to tackle this important and under-reported issue. The Elder Abuse Prevention and Response Initiative is part of the Victorian government's response to these recommendations.This includes funding for the establishment of 10 elder abuse prevention networks to collaborate at a community level and focus on the prevention of elder abuse.
We're excited to announce that our One million stars to end violence initiative is a finalist in this year's VicHealth Awards.
Central Bayside Community Health Services invite all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders to join them for a community BBQ. Come along and meet the staff, learn about the services and have a yarn over some yummy food.
