Report launch: A transformative justice framework to address adolescent relationship abuse

**EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE IN NORTHAMPTON SUITE, 4TH FLOOR, UNIVERSITY BUILDING, CITY ST GEORGE'S EC1V 0HB**

Please join Talia Kensit, founder of Youth Realities, and the Violence & Society Centre at City St George’s and the VISION research consortium to celebrate her Churchill Fellowship report, Prevention, Intervention and Healing: Addressing Adolescent Relationship Abuse.

Wednesday 6 November, 4 – 6 pm, Northampton Suite, 4th floor, University Building, City St George’s, University of London, EC1V 0HB

Talia is the founder and former CEO of Youth Realities, having established the charity at 19 years old in response to her own direct experiences of relationship abuse when she was a teenager. Talia has supported young survivors of intimate partner violence by designing and implementing programmes, training, workshops and frameworks that centre the needs and experiences of young people. 

Despite a general awareness of the prevalence of harm young people are experiencing in their relationships, there is little data and evidence supporting the prevention of and responses to such harm through the adoption of a survivor centred transformative justice approach. Highlighting her Churchill report, Talia will discuss best practice approaches to preventing, intervening in and supporting young people both harmed, and using harm in their intimate relationships.

Talia will also be joined by:

•  Ruth Weir, City St George's, UoL, Taking a collaborative approach to understanding more about abuse in teenage relationships
• Christine Barter, University of Central Lancashire, Qualitative findings looking at the nature and impact of IPVA in young people’s relationships
• Jeff Temple, University of Texas, Dating violence prevention program: implementation and effectiveness

Seating, drinks and nibbles will be provided.

This event is organised and hosted by the Violence and Society Centre and the UK Prevention Research Partnership VISION research consortium.
