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.

The power of participation

By participating in a charity event and raising funds, you become part of the solution.
Digital connection: A lifeline for youth mental health
