Brendan and Nathan are committed to equipping adults with the tools they need to confidently address youth mental health issues.
Our mission is to build mental health literacy and capability through evidence based mental health first aid training. We aim to empower individuals to recognise, respond to, and support those facing mental health challenges, fostering a culture of empathy, resilience, and wellbeing within the sporting community.
