I wish to recognise the invaluable work of Stepping Stone House in supporting vulnerable youth in my Summer Hill electorate. 

I wish to recognise the invaluable work of Stepping Stone House in supporting vulnerable youth in my Summer Hill electorate. Stepping Stone House provides a safe place for children and young people at risk or experiencing homelessness so they can begin to heal, build resilience, create connections and become the very best they can be. Many of the young people that they support have experienced domestic violence, sexual and emotional abuse, alcoholism and drug addiction. Around 30% have been forced to leave home because of their sexuality. To support young people facing these difficult situations, long-term shelter and support programs are critical and that is why the work of Stepping Stone House is so important. Operating out of two homes in Dulwich Hill, Stepping Stone House has assisted hundreds of vulnerable youth to build stable, independent lives and maximise their individual potential. Congratulations and thank you to Chief Executive Jason Juretic and all the team at Stepping Stone!
