The friendly and dedicated local youth support workers can assist any young person through challenging processes by dismantling barriers that would otherwise prevent doors from opening and quality of life improving.

YESS Youth Support Worker, Torii Kelly, said that anyone who lives in the Whitsundays, from Bloomsbury to Bowen and out to Collinsville between the ages of 8 to 21 can be eligible to access the service.
“If you have any questions about our services or if you believe you or someone you know may benefit from our support service, please contact us. We are available Monday to Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm to answer any questions you may have” she said.
“We will help you work through your list of goals – and help you achieve them by supporting you in any way we can.”
Generally, in the Whitsundays most young people are seeking pathways to link in with mental health services, alternative forms of education as well as assistance to access safe housing options.
By working with the individual young person to create an individual support plan, each Support Worker can keep connected to ensure every young person has the tools and support they need for a successful life.
