A group of intelligent young men are the graduates of the RAGE program from last term.
They now meet fortnightly with Youth Support Coordinators (YSC) Heidi & Chaplain Ben to connect with one another and discuss daily life, the grind and all things in between as they uplift each other in support.
This group aims to break the stigma of talking about mental health and throughout the program, the boys have had the opportunity to hear from local positive male mentors and be trained up to become co-facilitators of the RAGE program.
This week the boys had the pleasure of connecting with Marmin Barba who shared his story and provided some encouraging words of wisdom to motivate the boys to continue showing up, not only for each other but for themselves, prompting healthy mindsets and habits.
