Community Engagement Request Form: Services & Community Groups

1

Community Engagement

Our Community Engagement Coordinators work part-time hours 3 days a week.

An important part of our role in community is to promote headspace services to young people, parents/carers, schools and other key stakeholders. We are keen to collaborate with services and community groups based in the Hunter region by promoting headspace services, participating and partnering on activities/events/something cool!

Our priority groups include young men, First Nations, Culturally & Linguistically Diverse, and LGBTIQAP+ young people aged 12-25. Requests for community engagement and participation will be prioritised in relation to those priority groups.

Use this form to learn more about how we can work together and to provide details on your request / idea.

Please note we require at least 4 weeks notice to be able to service your request.

How can we work together?

Our key community engagement focus is to promote headspace services and share about how headspace can help, the importance of getting help early and how to refer/access our services.

Event Partnership and Participation

There are a number of ways we can work with you on events/activities/something else cool.

If your service/agency is planning an event, conference, EXPO or activity that has a youth mental health and wellbeing focus, we can attend as headspace representatives to join in and support your activities. We can also host a headspace stall, providing opportunities for community members, services & young people to interact with us. Our stall can include resources about headspace services, other local or national youth mental health resources and merchandise to give away.

We are keen to hear of opportunties to partner with services/community groups on co-located activities and events. This could look like a "pop-up" clinic at our Maitland or Cessnock centre or a special workshop series during school-holiday time.

We may also be able to partner with you on organsing and running a community event if it is in line with our priority areas.
