A 2024 Youth Day Out will be held at Lake Haven Recreation Centre on Wednesday, May 15, from 10am-2pm in recognition of the importance of holistic development and mental health among young people.
Youth Day Out is a collaboration of Central Coast Council, the NSW Department of Education, Central Coast Local Health District, Carers NSW, YMCA NSW, and Central Coast Community Council.
The interactive, fully accessible event is designed to foster a supportive environment where young people can explore various aspects of wellbeing, gain valuable insights and connect with services and resources to enhance their overall health and happiness.
It will cater to young people of all abilities, Indigenous and cultural diversity as well as mainstream students.
“Providing young people on the Central Coast with pathways to connect with support services is essential for promoting their health and wellbeing,” Rebecca Smith from Central Coast Community Council said.
“These services are vital in helping them live healthier, more balanced lives.”
Services represented on the day will include those from community-based health, recreation, volunteering and welfare services, as well as education and employment support.
Students who are not currently attending mainstream schooling services are also encouraged to attend with their caregivers.
Registrations can be made by emailing cec@thecccc.org.au
