Referrals & Personalised mentoring

We offer a program designed to support young people to overcome challenges, such as isolation, grief, anxiety, school avoidance, criminal justice involvement and more. For 6 to 12 weeks , in 1-to-1 or in small groups, they explore their wellbeing through activities supported by a Wellbeing Practitioner, with expertise and experience.

Getting (..) up on a Wednesday is a dream, she is so excited and springs out of bed knowing she has Guardian Ballers.  

 

Her teacher has also said that the (..) that comes into school on a Wednesday (her GB session day) is a different child, she is a breath of fresh air and we can all see the difference and positivity in her since joining the Activate programme.

My thoughts are that sometimes just one person can make a difference to a child’s life and the child will remember where , when, and how. I think in this case you are that person.

She has changed a lot. She is calmer and listens – her attitude and behavior have changed. She does not get as angry as she used to.

GB is good because everyone is welcoming nice and sweet and you don't have to be shy - everyone is easy to talk to. Everyone helps one another. They understand me. And sometimes they encourage me to step out of my comfort zone.
