Headspace Mid North Coast is rolling out a new program to help young men.
The not-for-profit organisation based in Coffs Harbour, and Dr Nicola Holmes says the initiative has been made possible thanks to a new community grant.
“We’re really excited about the donation from Westpac of $10,000. We’re going to use to fund our boys men’s shed program. So we’re running a program for 12-16 year old young boys often a few with behavioural issues or having difficulty engaging in education – and we take them one day a week and they go to the men’s shed and make carpentry,” said Dr Nicola Holmes.
Staff say the program has already yielded results in other regions.
