Today is a confusing time
to be young
We’re more ‘online’ than ever before. Unfortunately, feelings of connection haven’t increased, with reports of anxiety and isolation on the rise for young Australians.
We believe that healthy relationships are the secret to happiness – and every person should have a crew of people to catch them if and when they fall.
That’s why we created YourCrew and YourCrew Classroom, to give young Australians the knowledge, skills and tools to support themselves and their friends safely.
Preventing small issues from
becoming big ones
Although serious in intent, the YourCrew App and YourCrew Classroom provide a novel (and sometimes fun) way to increase communication with known and trusted people, and open the door to young people seeking help.
Our objectives are simple:
- To increase the rate of help-seeking by encouraging the right conversation at the right time.
- To decrease levels of anxiety, stress, hopelessness, loneliness and depression.
- To reduce the risk factors which may lead to self-harm, both with or without intent of death.
The YourCrew App
YourCrew App
The YourCrew App aims to promote the right conversation at the right time and reduce the time between youth needing help and receiving the help they need.
YourCrew also guides youth with what to say, do, where to go and when to involve an adult or professional service when helping their mates.
YourCrew Classroom
YourCrew Classroom
YourCrew Classroom encourages help-seeking, self-support, and supporting others strategies for high schoolers.
The program is split into three modules centred around the key themes of wellbeing, resilience and relationships.

It’s time to get loud and make noise for youth mental health!
The Make Noise Your Way challenge invites communities, especially young people, across Australia to make noise in their own way for youth mental health. By making as much noise as possible, we can help to reduce anxiety and self-harm and keep our young people safe.
Understanding their world: Empowering young people to open up about their mental health
Asking for help no matter how big or small the issue might be, is a hard thing to do. As children transition to adolescence to adulthood, recognising and identifying that support is needed can be even harder. Major changes are happening internally to the body and the brain and all this can feel like a minefield when trying to navigate complex emotions. So how can we better understand their world and lay the foundations so when they need to ask for help they know that support is at hand?
Tackling the fears and anxieties that stop people asking ‘Are you okay?’
Asking a friend or family member ‘Are you okay?’ can be difficult. We are often fearful of the response, fearful of our inexperience in understanding complex mental health issues and fearful of overstepping or upsetting our loved ones. But a conversation at the right time could save a life.
