Youth In Transition's mission is to provide a secure transition pathway for young people who are at risk of suicide to help them back on the road to recovery.

All young people are strong, resilient and capable of living a rich, full and meaningful life.

They are passionate about enabling our young people to make choices that empower them to lead more fulfilled and satisfying lives. From the beginning, they have listened to the hearts and voices of 'our’ young people and their families when designing and delivering their services.

One in five of our young people will experience some form of mental health problem during the crucial time that they are burgeoning to becoming an adult. Even mild mental illness can have a wide impact on a young person’s life and on those around them. When the worst happens, and a teenager takes their own life, those left behind have a heavy burden to bear. Youth In Transition knows that they can do better for young people with mental illness.

They understand that a one-size-fits all approach does not work. Each and every one of our clients comes with their unique set of circumstances. Their fears, pains, expectations, hopes, abilities, and disappointments. Youth In Transition's approach is to do whatever it takes to support them on their journey to seeing that their life is worth living.

The Journey Back to Awesome in its current form has been found to be a personalised, holistic and highly effective programme that serves its participants to a remarkably high degree. The success of the programme is due to two main factors: its personalised, iterative, community involving wrap-around nature and the incredibly high level of personal engagement, care and professionalism of all those involved in delivering it. Together those two factors make the programme stand out from others that may offer similar programme components.
