Aboriginal Resilient Kids

Strong Community Aboriginal Resilient Kids Program

Got a lot going on? Not feeling too deadly? There are things you can do to make a stronger you.

Our specialised team of mental health clinicians provides free support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Young Peoples aged 8 to 18 across the Northern NSW region.

About the service

The Strong Community Aboriginal Resilient Kids Program provides a range of free mental health and wellbeing services and supports, including:

  • Culturally sensitive youth mental health support and case management
  • Culturally safe recreational and educational activities
  • Health promotion in schools and in the community.

We are located at 133 Ballina Road, East Lismore. In addition to the support we offer from our East Lismore hub, the team also provides outreach to communities from Tweed Heads to the Clarence Valley.

The Strong Community Aboriginal Resilient Kids Program is proudly funded by Healthy North Coast through the North Coast PHN program.
