DESCRIPTION:Gateway Health invites you to join us for an engaging session as part of our community capacity-building event series to inspire and empower individuals and communities to advocate for positive change. \nJoin us for our third event on Thursday\, July 4\, 2024\, from 5.30pm at Gateway Health in Wodonga to explore inspiring and heart-wrenching stories that highlight the challenges faced by youth and families and how our speakers transformed their experiences into catalysts for change. \nPlease note\, this panel includes mentions of sexual abuse. If you need support\, please see a range of services available below. \nRegister here\nOur speakers \nBrent\, Pip\, Rose and Michelle Milthorpe \nIn 2013\, the Milthorpe family’s life changed forever with the revelation that their children had been victims of sexual abuse by a trusted family friend. In their pursuit of justice\, the family experienced the failures of a flawed and antiquated legal system. \nAfter the re-traumatising experience of a delayed and lengthy court process\, mum Michelle set about researching ways to improve a system that was perpetuating abuse for already vulnerable young people. She began her letter writing while waiting for the verdict in 2016. \nIn 2022\, Rose\, then 14\, became the youngest survivor in Australia to be able to publicly share her story. With the help of Member for Albury Justin Clancy\, journalist and survivor advocate Nina Funnell and more than 65\,000 petitioners\, Rose\, Pip\, Brent and Michelle\, with support from their eldest daughter Maggie\, achieved the goal of changing a broken system so that all children in NSW have access to the supports they need to participate more equitably in the legal system. \nSince this time\, the family have spoken twice at the National Child Protection Conference with the dream that one day all children nationwide will also have these supports. \nThis is the first time that the Milthorpes have shared their story on the Border. \nSolange Ntigonza  \nSolange Ntigonza has been recognised for her passion and advocacy in youth mental health\, notably as a 2024 Heywire winner. \nBorn in the Democratic Republic of the Congo\, Solange’s family was separated by war. \nSolange attended Wodonga Senior Secondary College  and is now studying a Bachelor in Psychological Science at La Trobe University. \nHer work\, including the development of the “A Place For You” (APFYU) program\, focuses on creating supportive and accessible mental health resources for young people. \nSolange brings a unique perspective and commitment to fostering mental wellbeing among the youth. \nCr Jessica Kellahan \nJessica is an AlburyCity councillor who is passionate about her community and honoured to live and work on Wiradjuri Country.  Jessica cares deeply about the health\, safety and wellbeing\, social justice and equality. \nJessica is a local teacher who has worked in education on the Border for 19 years\, having completed her schooling in Albury. Jessica is an advocate for youth engagement and believes all young people should have access to meaningful learning.
