Your donation will go towards providing our evidence-based programs and wellbeing
resources to children and young people. Through early intervention, these unique,
positive programs and resources initiate discussions surrounding emotions that can
be difficult for the young to communicate and empower children with a tool set of
skills and strategies to help them develop an enriched sense of wellbeing, belonging
and self-esteem. Data shows that these resources are having a substantial impact
and are helping to reduce mental health issues, bullying and suicide.
