    The Kickstart mentoring program is our most requested service program delivered as outreach and combines case management with a youth work approach. The program involves working with the young person to set goals that assists them to address the risk factors impacting them and includes connecting them to the specialised youth services to address those risks which may include risks associated with accessing mental health services, school disengagement, securing stable and safe accommodation, legal (police/juvenile justice/court) issues or accessing drug and alcohol supports. 

    Success is improved when the young person is aware that a referral to our service has been made and that he/she can set goals and develop an action plan, to achieve those goals.
