A systems-based index of community inclusion capacity in regional Victoria

Project Details

This VicHealth-funded project is developing and testing a new Community Inclusion Capacity Index to help regional communities understand how local structures, relationships and systems support adolescent inclusion, belonging and connection. Working with adolescents, local governments, Youth Live4Life and community partners, the project combines evidence synthesis, participatory systems modelling and social network analysis to develop a practical Index and Toolkit that communities can use to identify strengths, gaps and opportunities for action.
