Kurt and Brooke Gidley supporting "Community Youth Mental Health Boost’" raising money to provide free mental health training for families and carers.

LISTEN TO VIDEO DONATE

I became an advocate for EquiEnergy Youth because I was inspired by their want to reduce suffering amongst young people, but in particular by their approach - they call on adults within the community to engage and act, and therefore not only learn how to support others, but by osmosis, learn how to better support themselves.

“If we can help, we must”
Sometime predawn on the road to Sydney International Airport in April 2014, Stephen Spencer proclaimed to his close mates, Ben and Craig – “I have an idea and I need your help”. Over the following 10 days while surfing in the idyllic and remote Mentawais Island chain, the seeds of EquiEnergy Youth were planted.
