• Our approach

  Change for Youth Foundation uses a trauma-informed approach to learning and wellbeing support, recognizing that children in out-of-home care often carry invisible wounds from abuse, neglect, and disrupted schooling. Sessions focus on safe, relationship-based learning that happens sometimes away from the classroom, helping young people rebuild confidence and discover that learning can be enjoyable. The foundation provides individualized wellbeing care that supports emotional regulation and healing for children with complex trauma histories, alongside family and carer collaboration to build stable environments. Culturally responsive care ensures First Nations children remain connected to their culture, country, and identity. The work is tailored to suit each individual child, unlike classroom learning where everyone must learn in the same way at the same time.

• Working with families

  Change for Youth Foundation works collaboratively with carers, schools, and professionals to build stable, supportive environments for children. The approach recognizes that when school becomes a positive space and a young person's self-esteem grows, family-based placements become more stable and carers feel less alone. By providing tailored learning and wellbeing support, the foundation helps ensure that carers have the backing they need, which strengthens the foundation for the young person's future. This family and carer collaboration is central to the foundation's work in supporting children in out-of-home care.
