STOKED Surf Therapy - connecting marginalised Youth to their community: Brophy Family Services
Warrnambool City

$206,450

Community Safety

"Brophy Family & Youth Servs Inc is an incorporated association based in Warrnambool, Victoria, approximately 230km west of Melbourne. The Applicant seeks to provide community based services that promote a just society and improve the life circumstances for people who are vulnerable and disadvantaged, especially those who are experiencing homelessness, family violence, marginalisation or disconnectedness. The Warrnambool region has a total population of 52,486 (ABS, 2020).
This project will target up to 224 at risk youth aged from 14 to 25. The participants will be sourced through referrals from wide range of services such as Victoria Police, youth justice, alcohol and drug services, schools, homelessness, mental health and other services. The project will aim to divert young people from making unhealthy life choices through a surf therapy program and educational workshops. This project is an expansion of early intervention activities the Applicant currently undertakes.
The intended impact of this project is to reduce the likelihood that youth will engage in anti-social and criminal behaviour."
