Boys to the Bush
Boys to the Bush focuses on preventative and early intervention strategies for ‘disengaged’ young males a chance to experience life in the bush through mentoring, wellbeing sessions and camps. Activities can be anything from basic mechanics, bushwalking, to resilience training. The programs re-engage young males with education and training, while supporting their mental health and wellbeing.
In 2022 The Blackwood Foundation co-funded the training of 3 staff in the area of best practice and bespoke mental health support training to support the youth in their care, and full and part subsidies for camp places.
