Risk and Recovery Research
Sometimes life gets difficult, and people cope with their problems in different ways. Some people
have friends, family or other people who can help them, some people use drugs or alcohol to
cope, others have other ways, such as self-harm (like cutting) and there are lots of other ways of
coping too.
This research is about the problems (or risks) that young
women face, and how they cope with (recover from) those
problems.

I’m looking for girls and young women aged between 16 and 25
who would be interested in talking about the problems they
face, and how they deal with them. My previous research has
been on self-harm, suicidal behaviour and criminal/gang
involvement among young
women, and these are the

sorts of problems I’m
Priya
particularly interested in
finding out more about.
I hope that better understanding problems and the ways young
women cope with them, it will be easier to offer services and
support that can help.
If it seems like this is something that you would like to be
involved in, one of the researchers on this project, Priya, would
like to meet with you for about an hour to talk about your
experiences. No one else needs to know about this, and you would meet at a place and time that
suits you. You would also receive a $30 Warehouse voucher to say ‘thank you’.
Interested?...
