As fuel prices and the cost of living continue to climb, MCM is warning of a ripple effect that will push more young people into homelessness unless urgent action is taken to fix what’s being called the “youth housing penalty.”
Nearly half of vulnerable young Victorians turning to homelessness services alone are battling mental health conditions so severe they should be in hospital, shocking new analysis reveals.
New data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has for the first time revealed the scale of children experiencing homelessness without a parent or guardian, and highlighted serious gaps in support services.
The Youth Housing First (YHF) Partnership, an Australian-first collaboration between MCM, Junction Support Services, and Quantum Support Services, will provide stable housing and comprehensive support for 67 young people leaving care.
The Werribee campus, like all Hester Hornbrook Academy campuses, is purposefully designed to support the Healing Oriented Program of Education (HOPE); a holistic, student-centred approach that nurtures both individual and educational needs
A transformative step for young people experiencing homelessness
MCM congratulates the fabulous graduates of Hester Hornbrook Academy who will be celebrated during a special ceremony in Melbourne today. The 2024 graduating class includes participants in MCM’s transformative mental health and education initiative, the Living Learning program.
MCM’s inaugural Victorian Youth Homelessness Snapshot represents, on a given day in 2024, the reality faced by young people accessing MCM’s homelessness programs.
A first of its kind in Australia, the Living Learning program supports 15-to-21-year-olds with mental ill-health who are isolated and have not stepped foot inside a classroom for years
