Northern NSW Football Indigenous Round 28-30 May 2021

2021

Karen Menzies, the first Aboriginal Australian woman to play for the Matildas, talks about growing up in foster care, her enduring interest in soccer despite being caned at school for playing, being sent to a children's home in Newcastle where her love of playing soccer was encouraging, and on finding out about her Aboriginal heritage.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
