Youth Workers are available to provide FREE in person, online or phone support to young people, parents and carers which are delivered via a 30min session and will focus on practical wellbeing strategies, general support and referral (NB support is not suitable for acute or crisis care).
Our youth workers can provide you with information and support including general wellbeing and healthy living tips, keeping busy while at home, information about studying and employment, navigating relationships and linking in with mental health services.
We have a “no wrong door” approach, which means that we will support anybody who contact us to find what services or referrals they need. We do not discriminate and offer equitable service to all young people and their families.
Session bookings can be made Monday – Friday, 9am – 6pm by emailing banyuleyouth@banyule.vic.gov.au, calling 9457 9855 or filling in the below Expression of Interest form.
Alternatively, individual Youth workers can be contacted via their Facebook profiles. Our Staff members Lisa, Mark, Mitch, Madi and Mahamed are all available to chat with young people, parents and carers in person, via phone or video chat and can be found on Facebook by their worker profiles. i.e. Lisa Banyule-Youth
Our service is completely private and confidential, unless the safety and wellbeing of a person is at-risk.
