YOUth Mental Health Matters in Moorabool

The Moorabool Youth Action Group (YAG) would like to establish a local campaign that raises awareness of mental health issues among young people. In doing so this campaign will provide the community with a digital and print directory for young people on accessing information about mental health and finding local services. YAG will plan and hold a community event to launch their campaign with promotional materials.

Over 306 local young people have been consulted recently during the Moorabool Mental Health Youth Forum and through the development of the draft Youth Strategy 2018 - 2021. Young people told us that their top priority for youth in Moorabool is good mental health and they want to know how to help their friends who are experiencing mental health issues. This project will inform young people of how to get help for themselves and each other and will raise awareness of mental health issues.
