Grounded is a program for young people who are disengaged or at risk of being disengaged.

Grounded creates space for young people to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters to them. Through honest conversations and supported exploration, participants are encouraged to identify what they want from life, set meaningful goals, and take ownership of their next steps, all within an environment that is safe, non-judgemental, and real.

Grounded workshops include up to 40 participants from various metro and regional communities and are led by Reach facilitators with lived experience.

Jana's Story

My first Reach experience was with Grounded. The way I’d explain it is it’s for young people who don’t quite fit the standards or expectations that school places on them. They think differently, they perceive things differently – I guess it’s just about getting a bunch of people together who have been placed in a box and told they’re disengaged, or told they’re not good enough for school and that they’re not going to do well. To this day, Grounded shows them differently, just like it showed me. I worked as a Facilitator at Reach after being introduced through Grounded, running programs in schools and the community.
