Forum for youth

A Moorabool Youth Forum will be held in coming weeks as part of Children’s Week celebrations.

Proudly presented by the Moorabool Youth Action Group (YAG), the Forum will focus on mental health and the importance of self-care and wellbeing. YAG aim to raise awareness at the forum of the struggles some young people experience managing their mental health and help break down the stigma around mental health and seeking support.

Guest speakers include local VFL legend Doug Hawkins and a Beyond Blue Ambassador who will share their personal experiences overcoming mental health challenges and their stories of building resilience.

This is an opportunity to also meet the youth team and find out about programs available to you. Studio 22 will be open for young people to ‘Make their own stress toolkits’ with a variety of sensory items of home-made stress balls, DIY glitter jars, fidget spinners and more. Food and drinks provided and door prizes available to be won.
