For nearly 150 years Berry Street has dedicated itself to keeping children, young people and families safe, thriving and hopeful. Yet today, in Australia, rates of family violence, abuse and neglect are higher than ever before.

From Wednesday 14 August, join Richelle Hunt, ABC radio presenter, host of the Conversation Hour, and now host of the Stories from Berry Street Podcast, to find out why, and to explore the work Berry Street is doing to create real change.

Richelle talks to some of the most dedicated people at Berry Street about how they're addressing issues like childhood trauma, family violence and providing safe homes and schools. 

These problems are hard and they're real, but they're also too easy to ignore. Raising healthy, happy children and keeping them safe, takes a village. So, what's needed and how can we all play a part?

Stories from Berry Street launches on Wednesday 14 August, with new episodes released fortnightly.
