However, even though experiencing violence is a known risk factor for poor mental health, these issues are rarely spoken about together. This policy brief was developed in consultation with the Prevention United Youth Advisory Group (YAG) who believe that it is time to have an urgent conversation to highlight the effect(s) of gender-based violence on the mental health of young Australian women and to take steps to decrease the incidence of this salient risk factor.
