Mayor Cr Liesbeth Long said that Live4Life was vital for Central Goldfields, as youth in the regions face very different challenges to those in the big cities.
"I've experienced firsthand how devastating poor mental health can be for our younger community members. That's why upskilling the community to be able to support our young people is such an important and vital role. Having Youth Mental Health First Aid Instructors trained right here, in Central Goldfields, will help us to continue to build mental health awareness and our capacity to respond to young people when they fall on hard times."
