Youth Advisory Group Now Open for Expressions of Interest

Staying Deadly | headspace has launched a Youth Advisory Group, which will shape our health services and programs for young Mob.

Three young people from the Youth Advisory Group sit on the floor weaving with string, smiling and talking together. The image is framed by a blue border with yellow arrow-like patterns along the top and bottom edges.

The Youth Advisory Group will offer members the opportunity to develop their leadership and decision-making skills. Young Mob will get a chance to bring fresh ideas and perspectives to our programs, as well as see the impact of those decisions. Beyond this, the Youth Advisory group will help members build connections and form bonds with like-minded peers in a culturally safe environment.

Members will:

  • Meet regularly for yarns to share ideas;
  • Identify which services need change;
  • Work together on solutions that make a real difference for our Community.

The group will start as part of the Staying Deadly | headspace youth services, then expand to bring young voices to all services of Moreton ATSICHS. We hope this initiative will be the launching pad for the next generation of leaders.

We’re looking for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth aged 12–25. If you are passionate about making a difference and can commit to regular meetings, we’d love to hear from you!

Get in touch with Dwayne Clark via email at youth@iuih.org.au or call 0438 303 067.

Expressions of interest close on Friday, 13 February.

Two people sit facing each other, smiling and holding up peace signs. Wearing colorful sports jerseys, they appear to be members of a Youth Advisory Group. Others in similar attire gather in the background of a bright, modern room.
