Youth Live4Life

Youth Live4Life is a registered health promotion charity, bringing together rural and regional communities to improve youth mental health and reduce youth suicide. We do this by empowering communities to implement Live4Life, the only mental health education and youth suicide prevention model designed specifically for rural and regional communities.

Live4Life communities deliver Mental Health First Aid Australia® 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.

Youth Live4Life's vision is that all rural communities across Australia are empowered to support, improve and invest in young people’s mental health and reduce youth suicide. Our mission is to establish Live4Life as a model available to all rural communities across Australia. 

Our purpose is to reduce youth suicide in rural communities by: 

• Reducing barriers that prevent young people from seeking help

• Decreasing mental health stigma

• Increasing awareness of local professional help

• Increasing the mental health knowledge of secondary school-aged students, teachers, parents, carers and community members; and

• Building community resilience in addressing mental ill-health.
