Mental Health Promotion

The Mental Health Promotion Program works to raise awareness about youth mental health issues. It provides leadership in developing models and collaborative approaches for the promotion of young people’s mental health, while also being  responsible for a broad range of prevention and promotion activities both within Orygen Youth Health, in the service’s catchment area and more broadly.

The range of mental health promotion activities includes;

• Disseminating information about youth mental health initiatives in the western region of Melbourne and more broadly
• Development and production of mental health resources for workers, young people and the general public
• Event management on behalf of the organisation (conferences, festivals etc)
• Developing and supporting an active health arts program at Orygen Youth Health
