Living Learning - supporting young people to finish school

Living Learning is an innovative program funded by the Victorian Government that supports young people who are not engaged in education, employment or training and have a mental health condition. 

The program aims to support young people to improve their attendance and engagement in education and stabilise their mental health. The Living Learning multi-disciplinary team partners with Hester Hornbrook Academy to deliver high quality service over one year, with a holistic, individualised approach.

Living Learning offers mental health and educational supports in an encouraging and caring environment, supporting young people to work towards educational success and future positive pathways.
