Description
This 60 minute webinar will examine the findings of the landmark Australian Child Maltreatment Study (ACMS).
The ACMS findings also highlight that the harm associated with experiences of child maltreatment crystallise early, differences are evident by age 24, and appear to persist over life, with differences still being apparent in people 45 years and older.
The ACMS has found that Australians who experience maltreatment are substantially more likely to have
• mental health disorders
• health risk behaviours
• higher health service utilisation.
