    With your help, MCM are finding new ways to give young survivors the support they deserve.

    Young people are sometimes known as the ‘silent victims’ of family violence. That’s because there are no specific services just for young people experiencing family violence. As a result, thousands of them are falling through the cracks and becoming homeless.

    You’re helping change that.

    With your support, MCM has launched an advocacy campaign called ‘Amplify’ to make sure young people who’ve experienced family violence have their voices heard.

    The campaign is backed by an in-depth report, which was guided by the insights of young people with lived experience. It explains why change must happen, now. And includes a 20-point plan to show the sector, government, and social service providers how they change the system, and deliver the support young people deserve.
