Blue Leaf Initiative

The Blue Leaf project offers youth mental health prevention through collaboration, connection and community.

Through the four project pillars of Youth Safe, Youth Aware, Youth Empower and Youth Connect, Blue Leaf’s focus is on promoting mental health well-being and education, raising community awareness, connection and engagement for young people in our community.

Blue Leaf also coordinates a range of mental health prevention training for the community including:

• LivingWorks safeTALK (15+)
• Youth Mental Health First Aid (18+)
• Conversations About Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (18+)

This training is aimed at youth where appropriate as research identifies most young people experiencing suicidality do not seek help from mental health services and are more likely to seek help from peers. (Source: Suicide Prevention Australia, Youth Report, 2021).

The training is also suitable for people who work with youth, employers of youth and parent/carers of youth.
