Last week, our LifeChanger team had the enriching experience of training GemLife residents to become mentors in Queensland. Our new mentors are equipped and eager to positively influence the lives of young people in their communities. The feedback from our new mentors was incredibly positive, emphasising the profound need for our programs and the rewarding experience of mentoring. They shared insights on how mentoring will allow them to make a real difference, helping to steer young people to work through their challenges and move towards a brighter future. We're excited to see the impact they will no doubt make! #LifeChanger #LifeChangerFoundation

We are thrilled to partner with Cool.org in empowering Year 7 and 8 educators across Australia with free, comprehensive SEL and HPE resources. This collaboration is geared towards not only nurturing the social, emotional, and resilience skills of young Australians but also providing teachers with the tools to integrate these essential skills into their curriculums effectively. Together, we are making a significant impact on the future of education 💛

Message from our Founder, Scott Watters Recent studies from the Mental Health Research program at Murdoch university show that Australia has the second highest rate of bullying amongst all developed countries. The impact of bullying is a key contributor to the rise in youth mental health problems. Our kids are looking for a place to belong, somewhere to feel part of something, somewhere to feel safe and connected. The primary goal of every school, junior sporting club and youth facing organisation should be to create a safe, connected, inclusive environment where young people thrive! Everything else should be secondary. Sadly this objective is not always the priority! The opportunities to tackle the youth mental health crisis are around us every single day. At home, every day at school and every time they attend a netball, basketball or football session…we can all make a difference! - Scott Watters  ** This year LifeChanger programs will provide over 200,000 opportunities for young people in empowering, preventative youth mental health workshops…and will reach another 130,000 young people through our digital resources for teachers. Program outcomes include increased resilience, increase in connection to community, improved mental health, increased self-awareness and increased hope for the future. https://lnkd.in/gD7jkuF6

LIFECHANGER RETURNS TO KANGAROO ISLAND FOR THE THIRD YEAR... Our team, once again, had the opportunity to connect with the young leaders of Kangaroo Island Community Education (KICE) through a series of dynamic programs. Over five days, we engaged 144 students from Years 8, 9, and 11, delivering tailored workshops that emphasised leadership, resilience, and self-esteem. From hiking and leadership exercises on the beach to resilience building activities and thoughtful discussions, each session was designed to inspire and empower. A particularly touching moment came during our leadership camp, where one student shared how our team's support had made a significant impact on her life, especially after the hardships she faced during the island’s fires. These moments remind us why we do what we do. These experiences underscore the transformative power of dedicated mentorship and the positive impact it can have on young people. Interested in bringing this kind of change to your community? Connect with us to learn how we can tailor our programs to you. #LifeChanger #LifeChangerFoundation
