At a time when gripping television dramas have society collectively asking what’s influencing our young people and how we can help them, We want politicians to focus on what’s real.
Recently Safe Steps released the premiere of the Australian film “Unanswered Calls”. The documentary tells the real stories of young people who have experienced family violence. They share how they repeatedly reached out for help and fell through the gaps in support systems designed for adult victim-survivors.
The documentary highlights how there is no dedicated family violence support for our youth.
Safe Steps is asking for your help to raise the voices of young people to Canberra.
