On World Mental Health Day in October, the Brighton Youth Action Group (BYAG), Clarence Youth Network Advisory Group (YNAG), Derwent Valley D’FAT and the Mental Health Council of Tasmania came together to connect, reflect and support each other through Take a Minute Peer Support Training.

The training program gives young people the knowledge, skills and resources to engage their friends, family and community in understanding what positive mental health and wellbeing looks like and how to maintain it. Peer Leaders receive training to support their leadership journey, focusing on self care, boundaries and communication. For more information on this program, visit www.takeaminute.com.au
