In this video Dr Stephen Spencer (PhD) discusses the importance of the adults in the village around young people. If you want to understand the mental health and wellbeing of a young person, take a look at the system around them, the adults in their environment. We know that when young people have adults who are communicating, activating one another and supporting each other to support the child, then the child will thrive. But what happens if that doesn’t occur?
EquiEnergy Youth is committed to building capacity in families in our community to better support the mental wellbeing of their children and young people in their care.
Part of this commitment is providing free training for families on our evidence based framework that teaches a process to follow when their children are having episodes of mental health distress. By donating to our charity you will be supporting our family programs and help us continue to provide this training for free.
EquiEnergy Youth believes in a brighter future for young people, their families, and our community. We exist to save young lives. We do this by reconnecting communities and educating adult support systems to reduce psychological distress in young people. Just like DR ABC for a physical health crisis, our TAR3 Psychological First Aid gives adults simple steps to follow in a mental health crisis.
