Catching up with the crew

Project Details

The Live4Life program, run by Youth Live4Life, involves young people aged 14-16 years as ‘Crew’ members, who undergo training in mental health education, leadership, and advocacy. The Catching up with the Crew study looked at the experiences of Crew alumni in Victoria, Australia, to understand how participation in the program influenced their health, wellbeing, education, employment, and skill development. Study findings are being shared with the wider community to inform mental health education and support programs.

This research is closely linked to the Live4Life co-evaluation and the larger partnership with Youth Live4Life.
