Youth Insearch Camps At the 48 hour weekend Camps a safe and trusting atmosphere is created for young people aged between 12 and 18 years. Through Weekend Camps and follow up Support Groups around Australia, young people address the reasons behind their: • abuse of drugs and/or alcohol • anti-social behaviour • turning to crime • lack of any motivation to obtain employment or continue with their education By drawing on the resources of other young people and addressing the real problem or unresolved issue, young people seek positive alternatives in their lives and are encouraged to create their own peer support network turning away from a life governed by substance abuse, anti-social behaviour and crime. A typical camp would consist of approximately 50 young people and 10 to 15 supportive adults. Topics explored at the camps include communication, trust, self-esteem, parent/adolescent relationships, drug & alcohol abuse, suicide, adolescent health, sexual assault and grief. Adults adopt a mentor role in this process. It is the young people who have experienced similar issues and can relate to each other who provide the guidance and support. http://www.youthinsearch.org.au Open Day - Sunday 9th August 2009 (10am-2pm)
