Thrive Together: Supporting Every Step, At Every Stage.

At DIYDG, we believe in the profound wisdom of the saying, "It takes a village to raise a child." This principle is the foundation of The Thrive Collective, a holistic ecosystem of support offerings that recognise the diverse needs of young people and their families.

The Thrive Collective embodies the idea that healing, growth, and prevention require a collective effort rooted in culturally safe practices and community connectedness. We recognise that young people are at different stages in their journeys and require tailored support to thrive. Through this initiative, we create a village where every young person can find the right support at the right time, fostering resilience, connection, and hope.

• Healthy Peer Connections: For those seeking to develop social skills and a sense of belonging, our Good Vibrations program nurtures peer relationships and empowers young people to build supportive networks.
• Professional Counselling: For individuals and families needing therapeutic interventions, Key Counselling Services offers a safe space for healing and understanding through professional counselling supports.
• Mentorship: For those who benefit from role models, DIYDG provides youth worker mentoring that offers routine, structure, and encouragement to foster healthy habits and societal engagement.
• Men’s Suicide Prevention: For young men seeking connection, our Kunjur First Nations Men’s Collective offers culturally appropriate support in emotional regulation, suicide prevention, and healing.
• Complex Needs Case Management: For those facing complex challenges, the Pamle Pamle Youth and Family Support Service delivers comprehensive case management that bridges individual needs with community resources.

The Thrive Collective demonstrates DIYDG’s commitment to addressing the diversity of needs, the stages of readiness for change, and the unique cultural and social contexts of each young person. It is a model that brings together the strengths of men’s business, youth empowerment, individual supports, and community connection to create pathways of hope and opportunity.

The Thrive Collective is a Department of Child Safety, Seniors and Disability Services grant-funded program designed to provide essential support to young people aged 10-21 and their families who are at risk and in need of guidance. With a focus on engaging young people who are disengaged from their communities and at risk of harm to themselves or others, the program offers a range of services aimed at healing, empowerment, and creating positive change.

Prioritisation of Services
Spaces are limited for counselling, case management, and mentoring support. DIYDG will prioritise young people and families who have limited or no support from other stakeholders, ensuring that those most in need receive timely, comprehensive assistance.
