A big, heartfelt Thank You to Bevilles for generously donating this gorgeous ring to our Tribe event. This beautiful 'LOVE' 18ct White Gold pear solitaire ring, featuring 1/2ct of brilliant cut diamonds, worth $8,000, was won by one very lucky winner, Jacinta!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jacinta had never bought or thought she was worthy of wearing such a beauty, but she has promised to say her affirmation everyday as she puts it on. She’s particularly excited to put her hands on the steering wheel and stop at a red light so she can admire it! We don’t blame her!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jacinta said this was, “truly a lifechanging moment!”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Congratulations Jacinta! And thank you again Bevilles for your continued support of LifeChanger! We’re so grateful to have you as part of our tribe! 💛

An event like Tribe is only made possible with the help and support of everyone involved. A special thanks goes out to everyone who generously donated prizes for the auction, all of the performers who put their heart and soul into their performances, the incredible service providers who added their own special touch to the evening, and the hundreds of volunteers who gave up their own time to help make the evening as spectacular as it was! 💛🙏🏼

@lifechangerfoundation TRIBE 2022 What a gathering of the LifeChanger tribe! LifeChanger empowers young people with the courage to thrive! Thanks to all of our incredibly talented creative partners involved in bringing this special project to life and helping LifeChanger support youth!! It was magical!🖤💛 📸 👌

Recent reports show that 1 in 4 young people feel isolated or alone. When adolescents feel isolated and/or limited in connectedness, a variety of research shows that they are at increased risk of developing low mood and other mental health challenges.

When youth feel socially connected they thrive. Social connectedness is associated with:

✨ Higher self esteem
✨ Increased empathy for others
✨ Better communication and teamwork
✨ Lower rates of anxiety and depression
✨ A greater sense of purpose
✨ Increased feelings of happiness

LifeChanger programs are designed to build social connections amongst peers and a greater sense of belonging. A few comments from recent workshops:

"My favourite thing about LifeChanger is the ‘Circle of Truth’ because I got to learn more about my classmates and friends that I didn't know before."

“Most students within our year group, even the most academically driven students, struggle to find balance between different aspects of their life, whether it be seeing friends, studying, etc. Through this program, it’s easier to find common connections between students I don’t often talk to on a day to day basis, helping us to become closer as a year group.”

"I really enjoyed LifeChanger as it has helped me to notice my strengths and weaknesses as well as helping me with my ability with friendship."

We’re currently taking bookings for 2023, so if you know of a school that could benefit from a LifeChanger program, reach out to us at info@lifechanger.org.au

Another great week delivering 33 workshops, in 7 schools with 1,495 youth!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A highlight this week was delivering our Year 11 iLead workshop at Lake Munmorah High School with 20 amazing young people who were chosen to be involved in the program with the aim of positively influencing their year group towards being more open and connected 💛

Taking time to priortise our mental health is incredibly important, but sometimes this can be easier said than done.

A great starting point, if you're not sure where to even begin, is to think about the things in your life that fuel you - whatever that looks like for you.

What are the things that make your life a little easier, lighter, more enjoyable, better in some way?

Once you know what these things are for you, prioritise some time for yourself today - even if only for 5 minutes - to fuel your body and your mind! 💛

LifeChanger’s TRIBE event is back and, this year, it’s bigger and better than ever!

This premier event is an exciting and exhilarating gathering of the LifeChanger community in support of youth and a world with more thriving, resilient young people.

At LifeChanger, we believe that young people can develop the social, emotional and resilience skills needed to successfully navigate life.

LifeChanger programs empower young people with the courage to thrive!

Come and join over 650 LifeChangers, Community, Business, Corporate and Philanthropic Members and Volunteers and support today's youth.

Book a table or individual tickets and join like-minded people in an immersive, impactful community gathering.

Email Katarina Heath at katarina@lifechanger.org.au to book today!

With Term 4 now in full swing, our LifeChanger team have well and truly hit the ground running! We’re excited for all of the awesome workshops just around the corner! 😃

It's officially almost half way through the week! With a few days left until the weekend, it's usually by around this point that we start to find ourselves feeling a little more anxious and overwhelmed with everything that's still left to do!

If this is you, stop whatever you are doing right now and take five deep breaths!

Inhale....exhale...
Inhale....exhale...
Inhale....exhale...
Inhale....exhale...
Inhale....exhale...

Now, notice how you feel and, if your response is a positive one, consider making a commitment to do this at least once a day.

Check out our awesome NSW Facilitator Kez, discussing all things Leadership with the Year 11 students at Swansea High.

We are so lucky to have a team of incredible facilitators who, like Kez, genuinely want the best for the young people we work with, and aim to empower them with the resources and skills they need to make the most of their lives!

For those of you who have been lucky enough to see Kez in action, you already know how special and captivating he is! He thoughtfully uses his own personal stories and hardships to connect with the students in such a relevant, vulnerable and meaningful way.

If you know of a school in NSW that could benefit from a LifeChanger workshop with the one and only Kez himself - reach out to us! You (and the students!) will be glad you did! 😁

With 1 in 4 young people feeling isolated, disconnected or lonely all, or most, of the time, it's important to take a moment to meaningfully connect with someone today.

Psychologist, Richard Weissbourd, says, “if every person who’s in pretty good shape can make a commitment to reaching out to one person they are concerned might be lonely once a week, that would be a good thing.”

Many young people who report serious loneliness also said they felt as if no one “genuinely cared” about them. Take a moment today to show this isn't true. Send a text, make a phone call, go for a walk together...find a way to reach out and let someone in your life know that you care! 💛

When working with young people, we want them to walk away with a connection to, and understanding of, their tribe. It’s important that they know who those significant people are in their lives and how they can support them and bring out the best in them - in both the good times and the bad.

This is particularly important for their friendships, which help young people feel a sense of acceptance, identity and belonging. We all know that having good friends makes us happier. In fact, scientists have put this feeling to the test, and the evidence shows that teen friendships are linked with psychological well-being.

Not only that, the benefits of positive friendships also include:

✨ better self-esteem and confidence
✨ lower rates of anxiety
✨ stronger emotional regulation skills
✨ happier and more optimistic outlook
✨ more empathy and trust towards others

Taking the time to be proud of ourselves is incredibly important! Showing pride in ourselves means realising how much value we have as an individual, which creates a strong sense of self-worth and self-confidence.

When you are proud of yourself, it simply means that you are happy with yourself and the things that you have achieved in your life. In feeling this way, you are more likely to face your fears, step outside your comfort zone and chase after your dreams (whatever they might be)!

Take a moment today to write down 3 reasons you are proud of yourself. It's always nice to put them somewhere you will see them - like your bathroom mirror, on your desk or even in your closet door. Better yet - take the time to share them with someone and bask in your achievements! We don't do that enough and it's about time we did!

Feel free to share your pride in the comments below! We'd love to see! 💛👇🏼

Proud to be partnered with Cotton On Foundation, empowering youth to thrive!

Our partners supporting good mental health 💛

@lifechangerfoundation are an Australian foundation working to maximise the potential of all young people by providing the resources, skills, education and pathways they need to develop a positive self-identity. They are empowering young people to live thriving, resilient lives by developing social, emotional and resilience skills.

In the past 12 months, over 20,000 young people have been reached through school-based mental health prevention programs!

#cottononfoundation #empoweringyouthtothrive

World Mental Health Day is an opportunity to raise awareness about mental health around the globe. With over 1 billion people suffering from a mental health issue worldwide, it is important - now more than ever - that mental health and wellbeing becomes a global priority.

This year at LifeChanger we are supporting over 20,000 young people with their mental health. Over the next 24 months we are committed to increasing that number by more than double.

Want to know more about the work we do to empower thriving, resilient young people? Click the link in our bio to find out more! 💛

Sadly, suicide is the leading cause of death among young Australians between the ages 15 -24, with 1 in 4 young people having thought about suicide in the last 12 months.

This needs to change!!!

LifeChanger programs are holistic and pre-emptive, building critical foundations, skills and strategies earlier in young people’s lives - providing the tools they need to navigate and overcome life’s challenges.

Our delivery model engages with youth, teachers, parents and local mentors to build a sustainable village of support; allowing young people, and local community mentors, to connect and interact; building inclusive and resilient communities.

LifeChanger is the proud charity partner of the Repco Bathurst 1000. Iconic event and gathering of the racing community! Thanks to Repco, LifeChanger is running our youth empowerment programs in Bathurst! Awesome impact on and off the track! #repco #v8supercars #lifechangerfoundation

Mentors are such an important and integral part of our programs and when we have senior students, like Xavier, mentoring the younger students in our workshops, it’s incredibly powerful to witness.

We wish all mentors were like Xavier. He’s passionate about helping others, understands the importance of good mental health firsthand, and genuinely wants the best for the younger students he’s helping. He even brought fidget spinners into the workshops to help keep some of the kids more engaged - what an absolute legend!!! 💛🙏🏼

Journaling can be a great tool that has many benefits for our mental health. It can help inspire creativity, boost memory and concentration, reduce stress, encourage space from negative thoughts, provide a way to safely process emotions and deepen self discovery.

Using journal prompts can be a great starting point, and can be a powerful way to get to know yourself better. Prompts are also great when you aren’t sure what to journal about.

Throughout the month, check in with yourself by using these five questions to journal your thoughts and feelings:

✨ Is this in my control?
✨ What does a great day look like?
✨ Who do I spend time with?
✨ What is most important?
✨ Is this who I want to be?

Even just writing for a few minutes a day can have a powerful impact on your life. Try it for yourself!

We're so excited to be working alongside our partners @Melbunited to bring LifeChanger programs to Laverton P-12 College.

Our team had an absolute blast today, delivering our Health Workshop to a select group of 20 students from Year 8 through to Year 11. It was awesome seeing the collaboration, team work and connection formed between the students in varying year levels.

We're looking forward to seeing the strength of the rapport and connections develop over our remaining four workshops. Thank you again to @melbunited for helping us empower more thriving, resilient youth! 👊🏽

There is a lot misconception and stigma surrounding mental health and, as a result, people often suffer in silence. Mental health awareness is essential for early intervention and prevention.

According to the Mental Health Commission, suicidal distress, suicide attempts, and suicide will affect most Australians at some point in their lives, often with long-lasting impacts.

We can all play a role in preventing suicide by looking out for warning signs, reaching out and talking about it.

* If you or someone you know is struggling and want to speak to a professional counsellor, SuicideLine Victoria is available 24/7. Please call them on 1300 651 251 or, if it is an emergency, call 000.

Interested in volunteering as a mentor in a LifeChanger program?

Mentors are an integral part of the workshops we run with young people and, they play a central role in allowing young people to feel seen, heard and valued.

In sharing their lived experiences, mentors empower the participants in our programs to open up, discover new insights about themselves and move closer to achieving their best possible outcomes in life.

If you want to know more about becoming a mentor, contact us at info@lifechanger.org.au

Our awesome NSW team recently finished a program with one of the first schools they’ve ever worked in!

It’s the perfect moment to reflect on how far the team has come since the beginning of the year, when we started rolling out our programs in NSW. In a relatively short time, the team have already connected and built relationships with 10 schools, delivered over 150 workshops and positively impacted the lives of more than 3,000 youth!!!

And, there’s still 3 months left of the year! Watch this space! It’s definitely the start of something special in NSW!!! 💛

A big THANK YOU to everyone for clocking up the kilometres over the last 21 days! It’s been incredibly inspiring to see the you all getting out there and doing your part to make a difference in the lives of young people! 💛

We want to take this opportunity to give a HUGE shout out to Amanda, our amazing Program’s Coordinator in SA. Today she’s embarking on a challenge of her own and is walking the “Copper Triangle” in one day. Thats a massive 54km!!!

Amanda has never walked such a distance but is willing to give it her best shot to raise awareness and support for LifeChanger.

We’re so proud of you Amanda!!! You’ve got this!!! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Our amazing team in SA this week with a group of students, who were handpicked for demonstrating leadership potential.

The program built on the idea of being leaders who are positive influences and explored practical skills around decision making, the power of words, personal values, problem solving, resilience and teamwork.

A highlight was when the staff all split up with 3/4 students and they each shared deeply about what they value most in life, and why. It was super powerful and, as always, their amazing teachers led from the front! 💛🙏🏻

Our NZ team have been kicking some serious goals lately, and last week was no exception! They delivered their very first Mentor workshop with the incredible team at Canterbury - training 40 of their staff members who, this week, will be joining our phenomenal NZ LifeChanger team delivering our Tribe workshop to over 1000 students! 👏🏻

Our facilitators had an amazing morning with the awesome team at @milkmanagency talking all things LifeChanger and youth mental health.

We absolutely love opportunities to engage with our community and treat them like teenagers for a couple of hours. It’s always a lot of fun and gives such an intimate insight into our programs and the work that we do with youth!

Thank you @milkmanagency for all of your ongoing and continued support. We’re so incredibly grateful to have you as part of our tribe! 💛
