B-Heard Now Program
Brimbank Youth Services is trialing a new program for 12-18yr olds living or schooling in Brimbank.
In short, it’s an opportunity for young people to connect and chat to a Youth Worker for guidance, advice, information, referral and advocacy without having to make an appointment, complete intake forms, referral forms, or go on a waitlist. Young People can just drop in at one of the two locations between 2-5pm.
