Thank you for becoming a LifeChanger for kids today!!! 💛🙏🏼

This year we have had the pleasure of running workshops with the Year 7, 8 and 9 students at ionacollegegeelong

Today, we finished our Tribe workshop with the Year 9 students. Tribe is the last workshop in our Youth Program and focuses on the values of support, connection and community.

Tribe acts as a celebration of everything that the students have learnt throughout their LifeChanger journey. Some of the comments we received from participants were:

✨ “I am happy the way we talked about ourselves and others.”

✨ “I learnt that it’s ok to celebrate your achievements.”

✨ “Just to do what you love, don't worry about anyone else. Sometimes you have to take a step back to go forward.”

✨ “I learnt to focus on my own journey and not others.”

✨ “The workshop was amazing! My favourite so far. It let me understand myself.”

Thank you for having us Iona College! We look forward to working with the teachers and students at the school for many years to come! 💛

Right now we are confronted by a youth mental health crisis!

Over the last 2 years alone, 4 out of 5 young people have experienced mental health issues, with 1 in 4 also reporting suicidal thoughts.

We passionately believe that LifeChanger's preventative, supportive, empowering youth programs have never been more critical!

With your support, this September, let's clock up as many KM4KIDS as possible to raise awareness and support for today's youth.

Whether you walk, run, swim, ride, paddle - or something in between - it doesn't matter, as long as you just keep moving!

Our NZ team had a great time over the weekend at the NBL Tuatara home game. What made this even more special was that, Tuatara - one of our incredible partners - generously sponsored 40 kids and their teachers from Manurewa Intermediate School (a school we deliver our programs in) to attend. They even organised their transport to and from the stadium! 🙏🏼

The teachers said that for most of these kids it was the very first time they attended a live sports game. To say they had a blast would be a massive understatement - swipe across to see all the fun for yourself!

A big shout out to Stacey from @cottononfoundation for coming down and supporting us on the night!

Thank you also to @aucklandtuatarabasketball for supporting youth and helping us to create a world with more thriving, resilient young people! 💛

For the last few years, LifeChanger have delivered programs at Berwick College; a co-educational, public school for years 7 to 12 situated in the outer Melbourne metropolitan suburb of Berwick.

We are incredibly grateful to Cardinia Park Hotel who have partnered with, and supported, LifeChanger to allow us to continue to deliver programs at this school.

With their ongoing support, we have delivered our Youth Program to the entire Year 8 cohort. With only one more workshop to go, we’ve been inspired by the feedback, with comments like:

✨ "I learnt that I have big dreams and will dedicate myself to achieving them.”

✨ "This experience that we had today was amazing. You guys are honestly great at this and made me stop and think about myself."

✨ "I loved it, because I could learn more about myself, even when people underestimate me."

✨ "This workshop was very fun! The interactive games helped us understand the meaning to be resilient."

Thank you @cardiniaparkhotel We are incredibly grateful for your continued support of LifeChanger 🙏🏼

We love hearing the lessons and skills that students have learned within the LifeChanger program. One of the many concepts we explore in our workshops is GRATITUDE.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we provide young people with the space to pause and reflect on the things that they're grateful for, it allows them to focus on the good in their lives.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Gratitude is such a powerful skill for teens to learn as it also:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Builds resilience
✨ Promotes connection and community
✨ Reduces anxiety and stress
✨ Improves self esteem
✨ Makes us happier
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Try it for yourself. Let us know in the comments below: What are three things that you're grateful for today... 👇🏼

The power of stories are not to be underestimated. They have the capacity to shift perspectives, open hearts and change lives.

In our workshops it’s important for us to open up and share with the young people we work with. Stories allow our facilitators to connect with the participants on a deeper level and help them to find meaning in their own lives.

Here’s our NSW facilitator, Sophia, at a recent school, sharing highs and lows from her own life. She was raw, honest and relevant and, in doing so, had every student fully immersed and engaged. Through her openness and vulnerability the students felt comfortable enough to start opening up about their own challenges!

We are incredibly proud of the work we do and the capacity we have to effect positive change on young peoples lives! 💛

Australia is struggling under the tightening grip of a mental health crisis. And, unfortunately, it is our young Australians who are most at risk.

A large and growing number of young people are challenged by low levels of self-esteem, self-worth and isolation, leading to a multitude of negative outcomes including physical and mental illness, poor wellbeing and youth suicide.

The LifeChanger program addresses the alarming and challenging statistics that face many of today's youth and their families by adopting a pre-emptive, holistic and sustainable approach to wellbeing.

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

We all benefit from a welcoming and inclusive environment that celebrates our differences and also the things that connect us! At LifeChanger we believe every young person has so much to celebrate and contribute!!

It’s awesome seeing more schools understanding the importance of creating safe school environments that are accepting and inclusive of all! 💛

We had a great day at Geelong High yesterday delivering Part 1 of our Mentor Training to over 100 Year 10 students!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ll begin our Youth Program with the Year 8 students in a couple of weeks time. We’re really looking forward to having the senior students in the workshops supporting the younger students going through the LifeChanger program. It’s such an awesome way to build meaningful and impactful connections within the greater school community 🙏🏻

Our QLD team had an amazing time last week delivering the Skills Workshop to 70 Year 6 students at Burleigh.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They were an awesome group of kids who eagerly engaged with the content and well and truly brought the energy to the space! It was also awesome having an incredible bunch of mentors helping out on the day - including our CEO Scott and his teenage sons!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you know of a school or sporting group in QLD who could benefit from a LifeChanger Program and the opportunity to empower more thriving, resilient young people, get in touch with us at info@lifechanger.org.au

At LifeChanger, our mission is made possible by the dedication and commitment of our entire community. Along with our board, advisory, partners, mentors, ambassadors and amazing LifeChanger team, we are also incredibly fortunate to have thousands of active volunteers in our community, who are instrumental in the delivery of our youth programs.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last term we had the absolute pleasure of being joined by Esther and Nish - two amazing interns from RMIT.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nothing has ever been too much trouble for either of them and they’ve brought so much joy, dedication and commitment to their internship. It’s been awesome watching the connection and rapport they have built with the young people in our programs. We wish them all the best with the rest of their studies and feel very grateful to have them as a part of the LifeChanger family 💛🙏🏻

Our Senior Facilitators @trentdennislane and @mikedenheijer had the pleasure of running a Mentor Training session with the Cotton On staff in Auckland, NZ this morning.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The aim of these highly engaging sessions is to enable the participants to be the best mentor possible for the young people going through the LifeChanger program.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Participants learn about:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ The importance and benefits of mentoring
✨ The psychology of teens during their transitional years
✨ The role of the mentor within the Youth Program
✨ Mental health and the importance of early intervention
✨ Rapport building techniques
✨ LifeChanger’s content, purpose and values
✨ LifeChanger’s 5 Pillar Development Pathway
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The role of a mentor is incredibly powerful. A big shout out to Ruby for this video. We can't wait to get you out into classrooms empowering young people to live thriving, resilient lives.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We run workshops across both Australia and New Zealand, so if joining a workshop is something you're interested in, reach out to us at info@lifechanger.org.au 💛

LifeChanger wouldn’t be what it is today without the support from our amazing community partners. These significant partnerships enable us to directly engage with and support young people to be more empowered, resilient, thriving individuals.

This last term alone we delivered a whopping 480 workshops. A HUGE thanks to our incredible supporters for helping us to support young people at a time when they really need it! 🙏🏻

𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺!

This last term alone, we successfully trained 480 new mentors who will come into our workshops and directly impact the young people we work with.

Mentors can be senior students, teachers, coaches, parents and local community mentors. Their impact is not to be underestimated. Mentors live and breath in the community and talk directly to the sustainability of our programs.

Their stories and lived experiences provide the support that young people need to achieve their best possible outcomes in life.

We have mentoring opportunities available across both Australia and New Zealand. If you're interested in getting involved, reach out to us at info@lifechanger.org.au

The impacts of the pandemic have brought mental health to the forefront of everyones attention, with rates of anxiety and stress-related symptoms at an all time high.

At LifeChanger, we're fortunate enough to have mental health days where our amazing employees can enjoy a day to themselves to spend however they choose.

Check out our gorgeous EA Laura, spending a fun filled day at the zoo with her amazing kids! 💛

Learning to love ourselves fully and completely is a journey and something that takes a lot of time, practice and patience.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s why we love introducing students to the concept of self acceptance and getting them to begin to think about, and acknowledge, all of the things - strengths, qualities, skills and characteristics - they love and admire about themselves. It’s not always easy at first, but it’s often the first step in getting them to practice and apply self love 💛

A couple of our awesome facilitators are currently on Kangaroo Island doing an overnight hike with a group of 18 Year 8 and 9 students who were handpicked for a LifeChanger experience.

The students are from the three KICE schools across the island and are using this opportunity to build and develop their leadership skills.

So far, the group have had an amazing day exploring the concepts of influence, connection and encouragement, with resilience, gratitude and positivity being discussed around the campfire tonight!

It’s so awesome to provide young people with incredible experiences like this where they get to develop new skills, build connections, challenge one another and learn more about themselves.

Throughout the year, we have various opportunities to raise awareness for our programs and connect with those within our community.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our NZ team recently had some fun playing games, giving prizes and connecting with fans at a recent game for one of our partners - the Tuatara Basketball team. What made this event even more exciting is that our very own LifeChanger Facilitator, Reuben, is also a player on the Tuatara Basketball team!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We love connecting with the community while bringing awareness to the impactful work we do! If you're based in Auckland, look out for us at future Tuatara games. We'd love to see you! 💛

With the end of Term 2 fastly approaching, it's been another great week at LifeChanger with 35 workshops and 1,230 youth positively impacted by our programs across both Australia and New Zealand.

One of the highlights this week was watching some of our trained Year 10 senior mentors at Bellarine Secondary College, step it up and lead by example for the Year 8 students going through the program.

Their willingness to step outside their comfort zones and have a go encouraged the younger students to do the same.

We love that, through our programs, we provide opportunities for older students to develop their leadership and rapport building skills and, in doing so, enable them to support and assist young people with managing life’s challenges. 💛

We are incredibly fortunate to be partnered with some amazing organisations that support us in our mission to empower thriving, resilient young people.

We want to take the time to acknowledge Bevilles Jewellers who have partnered with, and supported, LifeChanger since our inception! 💛

Through their ongoing support, we continue to deliver our Youth Program each year to the Year 7 students at Manor Lakes College. The feedback from the program has been overwhelmingly positive with comments like:

✨ "I enjoyed this because it makes me feel happy and special about myself."

✨ "I have learnt how to be grateful and to love myself."

✨ "I learnt to treat others how I want to be treated."

✨ "I have learnt what to do when I am angry."

Thank you @bevilles We are incredibly grateful to have you as part of our tribe! 🙏🏼

Some great feedback from the awesome students at Turramurra High School in NSW.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The students had just completed our Health workshop that focuses on the importance of physical and mental health - covering the concepts of movement, recovery, nutrition and mindfulness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We love knowing that students are learning new skills that they can use in life to empower them to become the very best versions of themselves! 🙏🏼

A big welcome to two of our newest Victorian recruits, Jack and Noah! These two are already having an incredible, 'lifechanging' impact with students all across Geelong.

We absolutely love watching our team grow with passionate, likeminded people who all believe in our mission of empowering young people to live thriving, resilient lives! 💛

Another LifeChanger Challenge completed on the inspiring Lord Howe Island! Incredible days of hiking, swimming, exploring this beautiful heritage listed island. Grateful to our participants who have not only shared a once in a lifetime, bucket list, mind, body and soul experience but whose support and fundraising directly supports LifeChanger Programs which empower thriving, resilient youth.

Only 10 spots available for next the Lord Howe LifeChanger Challenge in 2023. Bookings open today, head to info@lifechanger.org.au

Your adventure, their future!

Lake Munmorah High School in NSW have well and truly stepped up their wellbeing game and, accordingly to our facilitator Kieran, "seriously have the coolest wellbeing setup!"

Not only do they have a massive space for students to visit but, they also do breakfast and morning tea every day for kids who don’t have food, run a pre-suspension program to re-engage kids who are about to be suspended, provide doctor services once a week, AND have a gorgeous therapy dog called Harrow 😭❤️

It's so awesome to see that there are spaces like this in schools for young people to access! 🙏🏼

We believe all teenagers can develop the tools to help navigate life. Our inclusive program ensures an opportunity to develop critical foundational skills to enable young people to pursue their potential.

Our workshops are designed to be...

✨ Pre-emptive
💛 Holistic
😁 Sustainable
👫 Inclusive

Key themes explored during our program include physical and mental health, mindfulness, goal setting, problem solving, gratitude, self awareness, resilience and connection.

Reach out if you know of a school or sporting club that would benefit from a LifeChanger program. We'd love to hear from you!

Our Skills workshop explores the concepts of problem solving and resilience and, as such, the participants are encouraged to step outside their comfort zone, let go of the fear of making mistakes and work together to support and encourage each other throughout any challenges that arise.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s awesome to see students collaborating as a team, developing their leadership and communication skills and empowering one another to succeed!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Challenges are always going to happen in life. That’s inevitable. But if we can equip young people with essential skills, earlier in life, than they’ll be better prepared to face these challenges and problem solve their way through them 💛
