So, why do we exist?
It’s simple. We exist to improve young people’s mental health and wellbeing, and ultimately prevent suicide in Australia.
Our current mental health system is geared toward treatment, but we believe focusing on prevention and early intervention by providing support before the point of crisis is crucial if we want to prevent suicide.
That’s why we need to start with our young people!
What We Do
We deliver mental health and leadership programs to young people across Western Australia, including some of the most remote regions of the state. No matter where they live, we believe every young person deserves access to the support and skills that help them thrive.
From resilience workshops in primary schools, to suicide prevention training for teens, to life-changing experiences at Camp Hero, everything we do is designed to build confident, compassionate young leaders.
Our work isn’t just about awareness – it’s about action. It’s about equipping the next generation to recognise when someone may be struggling and encourage them to seek help without shame.
And ultimately, it’s about saving lives.
Our Vision
A future where every young person is mentally strong, supported, and thriving.
Our Mission
We provide programs that educate, engage and empower young people to support and maintain their own mental health and prevent suicide in the community
Why young people?
Because over 75% of mental health issues occur before the age of 25. How young people manage their thoughts, emotions and behaviours sets the foundations for managing in adulthood. That’s why we believe it’s vital to start the conversations earlier.
