outh Live4Life is a Kindness in Community Fund grantee and registered health promotion charity, bringing together Australian rural and regional communities to improve youth mental health and reduce suicide. They empower communities to implement the Live4Life model — the only youth mental health education and suicide prevention model designed specifically for rural and regional communities.
Young people are at the heart of Live4Life. Since inception in 2010, over 21,000 young people have received evidence-based mental health education.
