Good Health & Wellbeing

What is the problem you found?

Young people are getting themselves in trouble with drugs and alcohol due to a lack of knowledge and health, fitness, and wellness. People in their communities are worried about them. 

How might we provide wellness support to young people in the community? 

Customer / Problem

Young people and disabled people in remote communities do not have enough access to activities and places they feel safe. This program will target young people aged 10 to 16 and people with disabilities living in remote communities. 
 

What Is Your Solution?

Creating a safe and fun place for young people to connect, share and learn from each other. The centre will be mobile so it may be set up anywhere. 

Features of the program include:

  • A boot camp for young people and people who live with disabilities. The boot camp will offer small group training, twice a week for 1 hour, in the evenings.
  • Community games for young people to play rugby, basketball and footy. 
  • Wellness and creative ctivities like drawing, painting, weaving, storytelling.
