WE SUPPORT YOUNG AND VULNERABLE PEOPLE IN THEIR TIMES OF NEED, TO LIVE A HEALTHY AND MEANINGFUL LIFE
About This Cause
Youturn is a not-for-profit organisation stablished more than 30 years ago to address youth homelessness on the Sunshine Coast. Today it has evolved into a national organisation with a multidisciplinary team of almost 200 professionals. Youturn is trusted to create safe, inclusive, and supportive communities by offering assistance to vulnerable people of all ages, during their most challenging times. In the past year alone, Youturn has provided support to over 9,900 individuals through a diverse range of health and community service initiatives. These programs encompass homelessness, child safety, mental health, and suicide prevention. At Youturn, our overarching goal is to make a lasting impact in the lives of those we serve. Through our dedicated efforts and partnerships, we aspire to build a society where everyone has the opportunity to lead a fulfilling and dignified life. We collaborate with like-minded partners who share our core values, striving to ensure that those we support have access to secure and affordable housing, enabling them to thrive and enjoy optimal mental well-being. HEALTH SERVICES: • Youturn delivers youth mental health programs and support services through the headspace model since 2012, when the first centre in Maroochydore was opened. Youturn now manages five centres across SE Queensland including Toowoomba, Bundaberg, Maroochydore, Caboolture and Gympie. These centres serve as crucial hubs, offering vital assistance to young people experiencing mental health challenges. We also deliver Youth Enhanced Services (YES) in Toowoomba and Adelaide for those with moderate to complex mental health needs. • StandBy Support After Suicide, is Australia’s leading suicide postvention program dedicated to assisting people and communities bereaved or impacted by suicide. The program offers coordinated evidence-based support and resources (including connections to local services and groups) that is individualised for each person’s unique circumstance. StandBy is guided by local advisory groups – which includes community stakeholders as well as those with Lived Experience COMMUNITY SERVICES: • Youturn is widely acknowledged as a key provider of Specialist Homelessness Services (SHS) that cater to the unique needs of young people and families aged 16 to 25 years. Our comprehensive range of programs includes not only the provision of secure and stable accommodation but also wrap-around case management support. We believe in empowering vulnerable individuals and families by addressing the root causes of homelessness, offering a continuum of care to help them regain stability and independence. • Our Child Safety programs operate on a continuity of care model, from supporting vulnerable families in the community to raise happy, healthy children through to the provision of supported accommodation and out-of-home care for children and young people who are unable to live with their primary caregivers. By offering a seamless transition, we aim to create a nurturing and safe environment for young individuals who need alternative living arrangements. At Youturn, we pride ourselves on delivering evidence-based services that adhere to best practice. Our commitment to integrity, transparency, and trust underscores every aspect of our work. We continually strive to address the complex challenges faced by our communities, ensuring our services remain relevant, sustainable and adaptable to changing needs.
