Wellbeing support for young people

Looking for wellbeing support?

Feeling lonely or just want to be part of something fun in your community?

Wellbeing is more than just accessing support; it's about feeling connected to family, friends, and being part of a community. If you're feeling lonely or want some fun, join local youth groups, community events and activities or find out about sporting clubs in your area. It's a great way to meet people and try something new.

Tips & Tricks

Not sure where to start?

Sometimes it helps to talk to an adult you trust. Here are some places you can go for help, depending on where you are:

  • At school? Chat with your school chaplain or student support services, they’re there to help you find the support you need.
  • At uni or TAFE? Most campuses have student wellbeing teams who can support you with whatever you're going through.
  • At work? You might have access to free counselling through something called an Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
Not in any of those places? Try reaching out to a Community Navigator, they’re great at helping young people connect with the right support.
