Passionate sports fan and father of 3. I have decided to participate in my first Ride for Youth to help raise awareness to a really meaningful and worthwhile cause.
I appreciate your kind donation to help support young people in need.
Did you know nearly 40% of young Australians have faced a mental health challenge? This figure has increased by nearly 50% since 2007 – which is why young people need your support more than ever before.
And with around three quarters of mental illness occurring in people before they’re 25, getting the right support early can have lifelong benefits for a young person’s health, social connections, education and future career.
That’s where your support for Youth Focus makes a world of difference – we provide counselling and other mental health services, free of charge, to young people aged 12 to 25, to help them get through mental health challenges and be who they want to be.
