Live4Life

Council is the lead agent of the Live4Life Baw Baw partnership that is working to improve youth mental health and reduce youth suicide.

Extract from Live4Life website:

“Live4Life communities deliver Teen and accredited Youth Mental Health First Aid training in schools and the wider community, create local partnerships to lead conversations about mental health that reduce stigma, and promote young leaders as mental health ambassadors.”

Live4Life Baw Baw was launched in 2020 and is delivered in partnership with local secondary schools and other education providers in the Shire as well as various community agencies.

Council’s Youth Officer leads the student engagement component of the Live4Life model called The Crew.  It is made up of students from each of the participating secondary schools. The Crew act as ambassadors to coordinate, design and deliver positive mental health promotion activities throughout the year, supported by nominated education staff from their school, and Council Officers.
