Let us provide you with high-quality support for your 10-25 year old!
Our Mission: To provide opportunities for the growth of all young people, their families and carers through our support services and training.
Our Vision: Creating a world where young people feel connected to community, supported by their loved ones and carers, and are building their capacity to confidently have their needs met.
Our Values: Belonging. Learning. Growing. Collaborating.
With over 15 years working with young people experiencing complex mental illness, trauma and/or disability we are well equipped to provide support services, coaching and mentoring, and private tutoring to all young people aged 10-25.
Our scope of practice is large and varied and tailored to each young person, their families and carers.
We provide services to young people from all walks of life and are particularly sensitive to the needs of those from culturally diverse backgrounds, members and allies of the LGBTQIA+ community and those with disabilities and learning difficulties.
We have a particular passion for working with children with autism spectrum disorder- including those with a pathological demand avoidance profile, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiance disorder, depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar and personality disorders.
We believe it takes a village to support young people to grow and work in collaboration with allied health services, schools and other support services to provide the quality of care all young people deserve.
