No dream is too small. No obstacle is too large.

Our young people have what they need within them.

They just need a helping hand to guide the way ✨

It’s been a HUGE week for the LifeChanger team with a few epic highlights to share.

Team Vic is back firing this week, meeting 150 Year 8 students at The Geelong College on Thursday, welcoming both Rachael and Nelson to their first workshop!

Both Rach and Nelson took the reigns and absolutely smashed it!

Our amazing Vic team also visited Iona College today to inspire 280 Year 7 students.

Team NSW has been working hard too, visiting Hunter River High School, St Phillips Christian College in Port Stephens and Turramurra High School, inspiring over 350 youth ✨

Great work team, we are so thrilled to be back in schools delivering our programs to our amazing youth!

Our VIC team hit the ground running today at The Geelong College, leading workshops for 150 eager Year 8 students. Listen as our awesome facilitators Nelson, Noah and Jake share their standout moments from the day. #VICteamreturns 💪

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed today, use this as your opportunity to reconnect with yourself.

Take five deep belly breaths with us…

✨ Inhale… exhale
✨ Inhale… exhale
✨ Inhale… exhale
✨ Inhale… exhale
✨ Inhale… exhale

Do you feel a little better?

Breathing helps bring you back to the present moment and calm the nervous system. It’s a great way to lower our heart rate and calm ourselves down when we’re feeling stressed, anxious and overwhelmed.

Save this reel for later if you ever need a reminder 💛

Practicing gratitude is one way we love looking after our mental health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Gratitude acts to rewire the brain, encouraging us to look at what is going well in our lives and what we are thankful for.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It allows us to gain perspective and to appreciate what we have, rather than focusing on what we don't have.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In our workshops, we touch on the importance of gratitude and it's mind-changing power.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We encourage them to list what they're grateful for and we are always blown away by their responses.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One youth participant told us:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"One thing I have learnt from the skills workshop is being grateful makes you feel so much happiness."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We'd love to hear what you're grateful for for the day. Share them with us below! 👇🏼

Do you know a school in Victoria that would benefit from our youth program?

We have just a few spots left in Term 1 for schools based in Victoria!

If you’re interested in booking our six-session youth program, please contact us at info@lifechanger.org.au

We would love to work with you and support your students to reach their full and unlimited potential 💛

What is our youth program?

Our youth program explore principles of physical and mental health, mindfulness, goal setting, problem-solving, gratitude, self-awareness, resilience, and building stronger connections.

Our workshops are delivered in a unique way.

They're specially designed to be engaging and interactive, giving our youth the chance to work together and connect with one another throughout the entire six-workshop series.

We know our youth have it in them.

We're here to support young people develop the tools they need to confront life's challenges.

If you know of a school that could benefit from a LifeChanger program, reach out to us at info@lifechanger.org.au

We’d love to hear from you 💛

We are motivated to build resilience in young people so when they're confronted with life's challenges, they know they have the skills to overcome them.

Resilience isn't about avoiding difficult times. It's about bouncing forward when we're confronted by hardship and feeling gratitude for the lessons we learnt along the way.

When we're resilient, we understand that if at first we don't succeed, we can always try again tomorrow.

We are incredibly proud of our partnership with @crusadercaravans Last year, they generously donated this amazing Gladiator Caravan to raise awareness and support for LifeChanger programs. Their continued support enables us to empower young people with access to resources and mental health prevention programs.

Our awesome LifeChanger Ambassador, Dermott Brereton, recently took the Gladiator Caravan on a journey of a lifetime, from Victoria to Northern New South Wales. Swipe across to see him in action!

“From the moment we set off on our adventure in the Crusader Caravan, we knew we were in for something special. The caravan handled like a dream on the winding roads and provided a smooth and comfortable ride. We couldn't get enough of the spacious interior - it felt like our own cozy home on wheels.

I'll admit, I was a bit hesitant about caravanning, but this trip was a total game-changer for me and the memories we created together were unforgettable. If you're looking for a reliable and luxurious way to take on your next adventure, look no further than the Crusader Caravans. It exceeded our wildest dreams and I can't recommend it enough!"

Thank you Crusader Caravans! Your unwavering support is going a long way in helping us to empower thousands of young people with the courage to thrive! 💛

We adore our facilitators and we see how much work, time, love and energy they put into each and every workshop.

But we also LOVE hearing this kind of feedback from our youth about our facilitators:

"My favourite thing about the LifeChanger program is that each and every staff member of the organisation is actually enthusiastic, and not just pretending to be."

Our facilitators bring their heart, soul and spirit to every school, program and workshop.

We couldn't be more proud of our team and the impact they continue to have on our youth!

If you'd like to join our team and have the best job in the world, we are looking for casual program facilitators across Australia and New Zealand.

At LifeChanger, our five pillars are what we believe provide the foundation for a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
One of our pillars is 'Skills' and it's the third workshop we deliver in our youth program.

Our 'Skills' workshop is all about the fundamental life skills of goal setting, problem solving, resilience and gratitude.

In this workshop, we ask:
- Why is it important to have goals?
- Why is practising gratitude important?
- How can we solve problems when we're faced with them?
- How can we become more resilient?

Goal setting is the centrepiece of our skills workshop. We spend time with our youth discovering their goal, creating a plan to achieve it, and committing to it on the dotted line.

Swipe to find out a little bit more about each of our focus points in 'Skills'.

2022 was a huge year for us at LifeChanger!

💛22,200 young people reached
💛2,340 trained mentors
💛2,500 workshops delivered

We have put together some of last year’s biggest highlights and our goals moving forward into a LifeChanging LifeChanger Moments package.

You’ll hear from youth participants, student mentors and community mentors about how our programs are changing lives across Australia and New Zealand!

Yesterday, we had a training session with the awesome team at @coolaustralia , who have access to over 200,000 teachers.

Cool Australia creates high-quality educational resources for teachers and students.

We are so excited to be partnering with them to create engaging and impactful resources, utilising LifeChanger content, so that we can continue to positively impact the mental health of today’s youth and reach as many young people as possible.

Watch this space because exciting things are on the horizon!

Have you ever heard of box breathing?
We teach our youth the technique of box breathing, a strategy used by the Navy SEALs to lower their heart rate, stay calm and sharpen their focus in tense moments.

It involves breathing in for a count of four, holding for a count of four, breathing out for a count of four, and holding for a count of four.

This technique helps lower your heart rate, slow your breathing, reduce your blood pressure and bring you back to centre.

When we ask our youth how they might use box breathing, they have SO many suggestions such as, before an exam, when they're feeling stressed or angry, and during a heated argument.

When would you use box breathing? Tell us below!

In our workshops, our youth participants often ask us:

'What does gratitude mean?'

Gratitude is the practise of focusing on what is good in our lives and being thankful for those things.

While it doesn't take away life's challenges and difficult times, it allows us to be present and appreciate what we might take for granted.

We believe gratitude is fundamental to positive mental health and it's a theme that runs through our full youth program, especially in our final 'Tribe' workshop.

In our 'Tribe' workshop, youth participants get the opportunity to write a letter to a loved one and express gratitude for them.

It's beautiful to see the power in these moments, with some letters bringing parents, grandparents, friends and teachers to tears.

If you haven't already, take a moment with us to express what you're grateful for. Maybe even send it to someone you love too!

If you’re feeling a little anxious, overwhelmed or unsettled, stop whatever you’re doing and take some deep breaths with us.

Put your hand on your belly, inhale and fill your belly with air, exhale slowly.

Repeat this five times.

Now, notice and see how you feel. Do you feel calmer? Steadier? Clearer? More yourself?

If this was helpful for you, consider making it a daily practice when life starts to feel a little overwhelming 💛

At LifeChanger, we have five pillars which we believe are the foundation for living a better life and achieving positive mental health.
Health, Skills, Self, Purpose, and Tribe.

Our youth program touches on each of these five pillars, giving young people tools and strategies to build resilience, self awareness, compassion, mindfulness, purpose, and empathy.

Our Health workshop touches on the synergy between our physical and mental health, the importance of good nutrition, and the calming affects of mindfulness. With good physical and mental health, we have a clear mind and a healthy body to move in the world.

Our Skills workshop touches on the practical life skills we can employ to confront life's challenges. With skills, such as problem solving and goal setting, we have the ability to meet life and its obstacles with courage and confidence.

Our Self workshop explores self acceptance, encouraging youth to contemplate what makes them unique. With a strong sense of self, we understand what makes us special, what our strengths are, what we can work on and what we can offer the world.

Our Purpose workshop speaks to what drives us in life, what excites us, and how we can give back. With purpose, we understand life can be exciting and fulfilling when we work towards what we love and play to our strengths.

Our Tribe workshop is about connection and building stronger bonds with the people we can turn to for support, guidance and love. When we have a sense of tribe, we feel connected and understand life is better when we practise vulnerability and gratitude with the people we care about.

What's your favourite pillar and why? Let us know below... 👇🏼

After a well deserved break, most of our LifeChanger team are back on deck and in the office from today!

We are grateful to have spent time relaxing and rejuvenating with our loved ones over the holiday period. But we absolutely can't wait to get back into schools in Australia and New Zealand to run our workshops with today's youth.

Tell us below what you did during the holiday season and what you're most grateful for!

We know the journey to self love and self acceptance takes time and practice.

When we introduce the concept of self love and self acceptance to young people in our 'Self' workshop, we are often met with resistance. It can be uncomfortable to speak kindly to ourselves and delve into what our strengths are.

It's truly awesome and powerful to witness young people exploring the concept of self acceptance. They start peeling back the layers of what defines their strengths, positive qualities and characteristics.

While it's not easy to love ourselves straight away, these strategies empower young people by setting a positive foundation for self talk in the future.

What do you love most about yourself? Let us know in the comments below... 👇🏼

We know our youth are in crisis and need us now more than ever.

Did you know suicide is the leading cause of death among Australians aged 15–24 years?

Did you know that 9 Australians die every day by suicide?

Did you know that 4 out of 5 young people have experienced mental health issues over the past 2 years?

These are statistics that we’re not willing to accept at LifeChanger and we are determined to create change.

We believe in the power of our programs and the power of our young people. We know our young people are capable of incredible things and they’ve got everything they need within them.

We’re here to shine the light inside of them and help to guide their way.

Are you looking for a way to inspire your team and give back?

Our LifeChanger Challenges are bucket list opportunities, built to develop leadership, connection and camaraderie within your team. Our challenges aren’t only an awesome way to give to your staff, they’re also an incredible way to give back.

100% of the funds raised during your LifeChanger Challenge, goes towards supporting our youth programs.

It’s your adventure. It’s their future.

If you’d like to register your interest and take on a LifeChanger Challenge in 2023, contact info@lifechanger.org.au today!

Would you like to join Team NSW in 2023...?

From Bathurst in the state's Central West, to the inner suburbs of Sydney, to Port Macquarie on the NSW Mid North Coast, our New South Wales team did everything they could to inspire and empower youth from all different backgrounds.

There are HUGE things coming in 2023 and we're currently looking for new facilitators to grow our awesome team in New South Wales so we can reach even more youth.

If you're passionate about improving the mental health of young Australians and working with an incredible group of supportive humans, we want to hear from you!

‘It’s going to be okay.’
‘What you’re going through now isn’t going to define your future.’
‘Just keep showing up.’
‘Keep your dream alive.’
‘Celebrate yourself.’

These are just a few of the responses we received when we asked guests at our annual Tribe Fundraising Gala what advice they’d give their 13-year-old selves.

What was your life like at 13, and what would you tell yourself if you had the chance?

Share with us below, we would love to hear from you.

Whether it's a dose of resilience, gratitude, kindness, laughter, support, or confidence, here is your New Year's reminder to take whatever you need today!

Wow! That’s a wrap for 2022, our biggest year yet.

We are so grateful for each and every one of you.

To our youth participants, sponsors, facilitators, staff members, schools, teachers and mentors, thank you. You have have made this year possible.

When we reflect on 2022, we are so proud of what we have been able to achieve.

- Over 20,000 youth impacted
- 2,300 workshops held across Australia and New Zealand
- Over 2,300 mentors engaged
- $956,000 raised at the LifeChanger Foundation Tribe Gala

Those numbers blow us away and we couldn’t be more grateful.

While this year has been huge, it’s got nothing on the plans we have for 2023.

We’re thinking big, planning big and dreaming big.

We will see you in 2023!

Tribe is the final workshop in our youth program, and it's where we get to see our youth connect deeply and meaningfully with their peers.

Our Tribe workshop uncovers how, and why, connecting with the people closest to us is so important for our mental health and positive wellbeing.

Our Tribe workshop explores:

👫 Identifying the people we love and trust most in our lives

🙏🏼 Expressing gratitude for our loved ones

💛 Sharing vulnerably with each other about our challenges

👊🏽 Checking in with each other and building stronger connections

When we have a strong tribe, we're more likely to believe in ourselves, feel supported, achieve great things and live more fulfilled lives.

The last, but definitely not least, of our LifeChanger awards is our ‘Infinite Possibilities’ award which is awarded to a LifeChanger who is open, optimistic, resilient and never gives up!

This year, the deserving recipient of this award is the one and only, Katarina Heath.

Kat passionately drives our marketing team with big picture thinking and always strives to make the foundation - and the world for young people - a better place!

Thanks for showing us that there are nothing but infinite possibilities ahead. We love and appreciate you Kat 💛💛💛

Our annual LifeChanger awards are a way to celebrate and reflect on our values, while acknowledging the passion and dedication of our amazing staff!

This year, the recipient of our 'Heart' award is Sam Corfield. This award is for a LifeChanger who shows kindness, compassion, support and gives 100% in everything they do.

We couldn't think of anyone more deserving of this award than Sam. She puts her heart and soul into her role and has the biggest, kindest heart of anyone we know.

We love you Sammy! Congratulations!

Our annual LifeChanger awards are an important celebration of our incredible staff who work passionately, each day, to make a difference in the lives of young people.

This year, the recipient of our 'Courage' award goes to Georgia Murray. Our courage award is awarded to a LifeChanger who is honest, authentic, vulnerable and resilient. This person is someone who confronts challenges, learns from mistakes and isn't afraid to practice vulnerability.

Georgia embodies each of these values - and then some! Georgia came to the Foundation as a slightly lost young person herself. Fast-forward just a couple of years and Georgia is facilitating workshops across the country, coordinating our Victorian schools, facilitating training and development and sharing her personal stories in a way that's impossible not to connect with.

Georgia, you're awesome. Congratulations!

From our LifeChanger tribe to yours, we wish you all a happy holidays and a safe and prosperous new year.

We hope you enjoy some well deserved time off and some quality time with your loved ones.

We'll see you in 2023! 💛

At LifeChanger, we believe in the power of positive thinking and in positive affirmations.

Affirmations and positive self talk help to reframe negative thought patterns. It can take some practise when we are used to thinking in a certain way. But positive affirmations have the power to point us in a more positive direction towards achieving our goals and instilling self belief.

Try this one today with us today:

'I am powerful and believe I can achieve my wildest dreams.'

*Trigger Warning - this post contains references to youth suicide.

The global youth mental health crisis has reached unprecedented levels, with 80% of young people experiencing mental health issues over the past two years.

Our mission is to positively impact one million young people annually, by providing access to mental health prevention programs and resources that empower youth with the courage to thrive!

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! 💛🙏🏼
