We Need Your Help!
Homelessness, abuse and poor mental health impact more Central Coast young people than in most other regions in NSW. RYSS have found cost-effective solutions to break the cycles and can prove it!
RYSS have recently pitched the model to treasury advocating for the Central Coast for more Youth Hubs, a model which is now replicable across NSW and beyond.
“We are committed to make our communities a better safer place with our next generation, we require funding with commitment and vision.”
We seek to establish Youth Hubs across the Central Coast and help others do this in regional NSW areas.
Helpful Resilience Resources
Here you will find some practical and evidence-based resources to support young people and their families. There is a variety of downloadable resources with some key topics. All are designed to empower the broader community to support better mental health in young people.
