Program Background & Importance
Supporting Young People Before Challenges Become Overwhelming
The Charlotte’s Wish Scholarship Program provides life-changing, proactive support for youth mental health, honouring Charlotte O’Brien’s legacy through direct community action.
Specifically designed for young people navigating the pivotal transition from Year 6 to Year 8, this program addresses the unique social and emotional challenges of early adolescence.
This holistic two-year program is built on four pillars:
Movement: Support to access sport and recreation activities that encourage wellbeing, confidence and connection.
Personalised Therapy: Supported access to qualified psychology or therapy providers, tailored to the young person’s needs.
Mentoring & Community: Individual mentoring across both years, with young people growing together in small, supportive groups.
Workshops: BREED Learning for Good workshops that build self-worth, emotional awareness, resilience and practical life skills.
