Creating a dedicated youth space

Our team understands that talking about the problems you face or your hopes for the future can be a daunting experience. 

Many of the young people we have helped in Shepparton have felt more comfortable in our unique multi-purpose room, with interactive features such as weighted blankets and kinetic sand.  

It’s a safe space that has helped to give young people the chance to relax, chill out and engage with our youth employment experts.
