headspace Esperance Youth Advisory Group (YAG)

headspace Esperance have a dynamic group of young people who work closely with the staff to ensure that headspace Esperance is a relevant and youth friendly service.

Being apart of the YAG gives you heaps of opportunities to get involved in shaping headspace Esperance as a service and promoting headspace in the wider community.  YAG are involved in planning and delivering events in Esperance such as Mental Health Week, NAIDOC week, R U OK Day, IDAHOBIT and other special events that headspace Esperance are a part of.

Young people join because they want to make a difference in the Esperance community.  It is a great way to get involved and make changes for young people in the area.  There is always the potential to go on and be involved on a National level with the headspace youth national reference group hY NRG.

The commitment we ask of young people is they attend monthly meetings (held after school hours).

If you are keen to join YAG or to find out more about what YAG does contact Rani on 0477 583 869 or email: rani.smart@hopecs.org.au
