Helping Young People THRIVE

A holistic approach to building confidence and mental wellbeing ready for your youth workers to create more impact into the lives of the young people they support.

What we do

We offer group mentoring as a way to aid your organisation and/or staff to support the young people that they interact with. Sometimes that might include working directly with youth.  However, we are focusing on working with youth workers and educators and giving them powerful processes that yield results and empower the youth.  We also offer a range of tools for parents to use within their home.

These processes have been built through years of study and experience and are built around improving relationships, building confidence, and giving youth the tools to better their mental health.  

How does this happen?  We focus on these areas:
-  Begin with understanding how the brain works
-  How language impacts us
-  Improve emotional regulation
- Assess personal values
- Gain strategies to improve mindset and mental wellbeing as a whole

This work is already impacting 100s of kids directly, through schools and through equipping staff in a variety of organisations within the community. It is so important that we truly understand the development of children and have strategies in place to help them with the obstacles that they face in life so that they are given every opportunity to shine their light brightly in this world.

We work with...

It has been a pleasure for Marilou and her team to work directly with youth, age 6 plus.  However, with more youth struggling with mental wellbeing than ever it is time to spread this ripple into more communities where we can make a bigger impact and help these incredible people THRIVE!

Working directly with schools, clinics, councils and government organisations, community programs, and beyond means that we can mentor the very people who interact with youth within each organisation. Our goal is to empower these young people to harness their innate potential and shine their lights brightly!

If your school, organisation or workplace interacts with young people please get in touch to book a session and learn the strategies you need to make the greatest impact.
These programs have already been run for individuals, parents, youth and organisations in a range of formats. Each session focused to bring the exact tools and strategies that were needed. Here is some of the feedback.
