Blue Knot Foundation and Pegasus Economics developed this evidence-informed report on the economic impact of unresolved childhood trauma and abuse in adults in Australia.
It highlights a strategy for addressing the structural budget deficit by targeting the public health issue of childhood trauma and abuse and is designed to inform policy reform across systems and sectors to enhance outcomes for those living with childhood trauma and abuse in all its forms.
Blue Knot Foundation respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the Lands on which we work and pay respect to First Nations peoples and their Elders past and present. We acknowledge their strength and resilience and are honoured to journey with them on the path to healing and reconciliation. Please be aware that this website may contain the names, images and voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who may now be deceased.
