Desistance EPA

The Desistance Effective Practice Award (EPA) explores the transformative processes that enable children and young people to move away from offending behaviours.

It equips practitioners with the tools to support this journey through strengths-based approaches, fostering positive change.

Developed by Unitas in collaboration with the Youth Justice Institute (YJI), this award reflects our shared commitment to advancing effective, child-focused practices in youth justice.
