Understanding the world around young people

Teaching adults to help young people recognise influences, strengthen relationships, to promote mental health and wellbeing, now and the future

“… there is no sustainable future without prioritizing youth mental health and well-being.” United Nations 2026

  • The ‘Ecosystem’ is what the United Nations calls the interconnected environments in which young people live, learn, and work, the which contains the influence of family, friends, schools, digital technology, sporting clubs, workplaces and communities .

  • We provide three programs for understanding of how these environments provide opportunities and challenges for young people, and how adults comfortably and effectively can support those who may be struggling with wellbeing and possibly mental illness. Our three programs are:

  1. Navigating Influence with young people – sources and dynamics of influence – one day session

  2. Youth Wellbeing and Mental Health – possible wellbeing issues and approaches to help - half day session

3. Mental Health First Aid – accredited support of young people - 4 half day sessions
