"The Week that Was"
This week instead of our usual "The Week that Was" we would like to share a journal article sent through to us by one of our caseworkers. Many of us have enjoyed reading this, finding different parts that particularly struck a note.

Youth Advocates
We are currently seeking to recruit some volunteer advocates to assist with our Youth Service for 2013. We need enthusiastic and committed people who have a genuine interest in assisting Youth to obtain justice. Join us on Wednesday 20 February, 1 pm at the community law centre for afternoon tea & a brief introduction to the volunteer roles available. You can then decide if you’ll make the commitment for 2013. For more information contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
