Youth Support Co-ordinator
The Youth Support Co-ordinator at Mount Morgan State High School works with students at risk of disengaging from education. Our YSC develops and foster relationships with the school and families of students to assist these students to remain engaged with education.
Youth Support Coordinators are able to provide a confidential service to young people who are at risk of disengaging or who have recently disengaged from education.
Youth Support Coordinators work closely with young people on a voluntary basis and in conjunction with a range of Community agencies and can make referrals to access the most appropriate support services. We can provide information, support, advocacy and referrals to young people who may be experiencing a range of issues, that are impacting their engagement, including:
- Independent living
- Peer Relationships
- Personal Issues
- Achievement of Learning Outcomes
- Referral to external supports for students and families
- School Engagement
- School Attendance
- Financial Barriers or difficulties
- Accommodation or Housing difficulties
- Relationship issues
- Family conflict or changes
- School related issues
- Social and Emotional Wellbeing
- Mental Health
Support students: Peer relationships, personal issues, achievement of learning outcomes, referral to external supports for students and families, school engagement and alternative education options if student completely disengaging.
Youth Support Coordinators aim to support young people to remain engaged in education, or transition into other training or employment.
Youth Support Coordinators also facilitate group work and community programs in partnership with the school and other community support agencies to ensure that the emotional and social support needs of young people and their families are addressed.
You are welcome to contact our Youth Support Coordinator directly if you would like to make an appointment or would like any further information about the program.
