“Our Youthsafe presenter program is different in its delivery to any previous speaker programs involving people with a serious injury. It incorporates up-to-date learning strategies and has strong links to the NSW high school syllabus. It is part of a multi strategic approach aimed at helping young people understand dangerous risks and how to deal with them.”
