Where is the door? for young people was launched at Cockburn Youth Centre to help guide young people to free and low-cost, local support when they need it.
What a joyful afternoon celebrating the launch of Where is the Door for young people!
Deeply indebted to the incredible young people who shaped this event; especially our wonderful MC Hannah, and panellists Angelina, Amber, Brandon, and Tristan.
For a long time, young people in our region have told us they don’t know where to go when they need help. So we listened. We asked what would be helpful, and then mobilised the collective resources of Imagined Futures partners to make it happen.
Where is the Door reduces barriers by helping young people understand what support is available locally – in bite-sized, digestible chunks. We show how to access it, what’s free or low-cost, and where to start. Whether it’s face-to-face, phone-based, or online, we make that first step easier and less overwhelming.
A heartfelt thank you also to our wonderful speakers who complemented the event beautifully: Sue Nickisson, Chair of the Imagined Futures Community of Practice; David Scaife MLA; the Commissioner for Children and Young People WA Jacqueline McGowan-Jones – who joined the young people in cutting the ribbon to officially launch the initiative.
A special thank you to Stan Perron Charitable Foundation for providing the funding required to bring this initiative to life; to Neami National for co-funding the event and providing support staff; and to the City of Cockburn for hosting us at their amazing youth centre.
