We’re doing things differently
Every day Human Nature provides mental health support to some of the most traumatised, disadvantaged and vulnerable young people in our local community, who simply can’t engage with conventional mental health services. We do it by removing the key barriers they face to getting help – like cost, transport and the stigma around seeking help.
We are able to engage young people who have lost hope by taking a fundamentally different approach. We take them out of the clinical office and into nature, where they are more comfortable to talk about their problems and form meaningful relationships with our team of mental health professionals.
These are young people who otherwise would miss out on the mental health support they desperately need and the number is growing every day. Without our programs these young people are at risk of dire and tragic outcomes. On a trajectory that could end in juvenile detention, drug and alcohol rehab, inpatient psychiatric care or worse.
We can be there for young people who are falling through the cracks of conventional mental health services. But we can only do it with your support.
We need your help now to ensure that we can reach as many young people as possible.
We meet young people where they are at
It could be going on an adventurous bush walk, going on a mountain bike ride, horse riding, right up to our longer therapeutic expedition program.
Your support can change a life
With donations from people like you we can provide desperately needed mental health support for young people who simply won’t walk into a therapist’s office.
Young people who otherwise would be on a treacherous path towards dire and tragic outcomes. Your support can change that path and change a life.
“Some truly amazing work the Human Nature team do. Saying that human nature changed my life is an understatement because it helped me save it. Human nature was just the guiding light I needed to help myself blossom into the amazing person I am today.” – Cara, 19
Regular gifts keep our programs running
