Youth consultation – Let’s Talk Health 

Are you a young person aged 12-25, a parent, a carer, or a community stakeholder?

We are launching Let’s Talk Health - a community consultation series across the Mid North Coast and Northern NSW, so you can share your views on local health services and supports for young people.

We're seeking input on what's working well and where improvements might be needed across:  

• mental health and wellbeing 

• vocational support 

• physical and sexual health 

• alcohol and other drugs 

• social support.

Workshops for young people

There are upcoming in-person workshops in Kempsey, Tweed Heads, Ballina and Lismore. There are also online workshops for anyone unable to make it in-person. All young people who participate will receive $50 per hour in recognition for their time and contribution.

Invitation for parents and carers

If you care for a young person (12-25) and live in the Mid North Coast or Northern NSW region, we also want to hear from you! There are online consultation sessions running on Wednesday 26 August and Friday 28 August.

Community stakeholder sessions

If you work in a field that supports young people (health, wellbeing, vocational, educational or social support), we want to hear from you about how the health and wellbeing service system can better meet young people’s needs.

Download the Let’s Talk Health poster to share with your community, workplace or network.

Young people also have the opportunity to provide feedback via a survey. Those who complete the survey will go into a draw to win a $150 voucher. 

Your support will help to give us a broad and meaningful understanding of community needs across our region. 

More information about Let's Talk Health, and what the information will be used for, can be found on our website. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the team at integratedwellbeing@hnc.org.au.
