Become a Bursary Partner
The National Indigenous Youth Mental Health and Wellbeing Forum
This forum brings together community and youth leaders, grassroots organisations, ACCHOs, mainstream providers, researchers, clinicians and government representatives to progress practical solutions for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth mental health and wellbeing.
The agenda spans the full continuum of care and the wider determinants of wellbeing, including culturally safe service design, trauma-aware practice, LGBTIQSB+ inclusion, youth justice and child protection, data sovereignty, digital access, and regional and remote solutions.
Partnership opportunities
Your partnership helps fund bursary-supported passes for Indigenous young people and community members from non-funded community organisations. It is a direct way to hear from expert speakers, contribute to national dialogue and co-design actionable solutions that can be embedded back in workplaces and communities.
Proceeds extend to the wider communities in which your organisation operates and where sponsored attendees live, ensuring the conversation is national and reflects diverse voices and experiences.
