Funded Activity Summary
A hand up: Disrupting the communication of intergenerational welfare dependency. Some families rely permanently on welfare support and communicate this dependency to the next generation. Children growing up in these families find it difficult to break out of poverty. With the help of twelve families and members of the St Vincent de Paul Society (Western Australia), this project aims to create ethnographies which illuminate turning points and opportunities for change. It will look to use creative and educational interventions to explore new ways of delivering services and disrupting the communication of welfare dependency. Ending inherited poverty is a significant step in helping individuals reach their potential and frees resources for people facing sudden hardship.Funded Activity Details
