Helping young people become the best version of themselves
Reach is dedicated to the health and wellbeing of young people. For more than 30 years we have been creating spaces where young people can connect more deeply with themselves, explore who they are, who they want to be, and why they matter. We believe every young person deserves to feel seen, heard and empowered - not just to survive, but to thrive.

WHAT WE DO
We are tackling the mental health crisis head on. Our workshops are run by young people, for young people. We train and support a team of extraordinary young facilitators who’ve been through their own journeys and now walk beside others.
Our school workshops can make a difference to a student no matter what they are going through and where they are at.
Our crew of facilitators are out in primary and secondary schools every week during school terms delivering workshops that are 100% led by young people.
They provide safe and supportive spaces where the Reach crew role-model empathy, authenticity, resilience and connection. The group work allows participants to understand themselves better and connect with others.
Reach’s work extends beyond schools and into the community through targeted programs that meet young people where they’re at.
Our community programs create powerful, safe spaces for young people to feel seen, understood, and connected alongside others with shared experiences.
In addition to school workshops, Reach’s community programs offer sustained support and real connection, helping young people build confidence, strengthen relationships, and develop the skills and belief they need to shape positive futures beyond the classroom
Our Workplace Wellbeing workshops draw on Reach's facilitation and culture shaping expertise to help companies foster more inclusive, connected and future-ready teams.
Delivered by experienced facilitators, these programs have been delivered over the past ten years to leading companies across Australia. Our programs are designed for graduates, senior leadership groups and multi-disciplinary teams.
Your support helps Reach deliver prevention-focused mental health programs to young people across Australia — when it matters most.
