This Is Us - Four Profiles of Young People in Care - Part 2

'This is Us' is about the issues young people in out-of-home care face and how they overcome them.

Young people in care are 3 to 4 times more likely to experience mental health issues than young people not in care. A group of CREATE Queensland Young Consultants decided to get together and create a DVD to raise awareness about mental health issues for young people in out-of-home and provide advice for young people experiencing issues.

The four profiles feature young people talking about mental health issues that they have experienced and what they do overcome them.

To order a copy of the DVD, please contact CREATE QLD on 07 3255 3145 or email queensland@create.org.au

The project was supported by the CREATE Foundation, Beyond Blue and National Youth Week 2010.
