My vision for Wollongong is to create environments and services they can trust, feel comfortable and be courageous.
- To create spaces for youth, which they truly feel comfortable in and want to spend time. The current Wollongong is limited in places for youth to confidently hang out.
- Building a network of high-quality trusted employment for youth. Currently, youth are restrained from accessing high-quality employment due to a lack of experience and trust. My initiatives will bring real change for YOUth.
- Easier mental health support access. It happens to everyone – we all have ups and downs, but I have found that youth struggle to reach out to the currently available services because it simply takes too much courage and effort. And after all that, they don’t really seem to meaningfully care to try and fix the issue. I would create an anonymous reach chat service for youth for effortless access to support.
