Now, Victoria, Australia, is testing this model with a $30 million boost, embedding youth mentors in high-risk schools and hospitals to break cycles of violence before they escalate. Led by Andrea Davidson and guided by Scotland’s Karyn McCluskey, the approach targets root causes like trauma and disadvantage, not just symptoms. But with elections looming, the program’s long-term survival is uncertain—raising fears that political cycles could derail this bold, prevention-focused strategy before it proves its worth.
