More than 500 local students came together at Gippsland Regional Sports Complex in Sale last week to launch the 2026 Live4Life Wellington crew.

Live4Life is a community-based program that helps young people learn about mental health, look out for their friends and get support when they need it.

Led by passionate Year 9 and 10 leaders, the event welcomed Year 8s from across the region for a day full of:

Powerful, real‑life stories

Connections with local support services

Open conversations about mental health

Centered around one clear message “United in Care: if you’re feeling divided, speak up and share.”

Together, we’re building a community where young people feel supported, heard and never alone. Because no one should feel like they have to do it alone
