Youth Umbrella Project (YUP)
Creates individualised support networks for young people in Melbourne’s western suburbs, connecting them with specialised services while building their capacity for positive decision-making and community engagement.
Program Management
Across all programs, we have seen growing demand, particularly from young people presenting with overlapping challenges including family conflict, justice system contact, mental health pressures and housing instability. Our team has responded with professionalism, consistency and a clear commitment to early intervention.
At the centre of our work is relationship.
Through Reconnect, YUP and NWSYP, we have supported young people to re-engage with education and employment, strengthen family relationships, develop emotional regulation skills and make safer decisions.
Our non-reoffending outcomes and sustained engagement rates continue to demonstrate that early, structured support works.
