Supporting Health, Education, Recreation and Personal Autonomy (SHERPA)

Supporting Health, Education, Recreation and Personal Autonomy (SHERPA) is a voluntary program for young people aged 12-21 in the Eastern Melbourne region who have or may be at risk of developing problems with drug and/or alcohol use.

SHERPA is delivered by Youth Support and Advocacy Service (YSAS) in collaboration with the Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network.

The program aims to reduce drug and alcohol related harms and increase young people's connection to work or education, build meaningful connections to community and improve physical wellbeing.

The program includes one-on-one appointments with a worker to focus on particular goals and needs and weekly community-based activities, such as cooking and adventure based sessions.

This service is for young people aged 12-21 year old living in the Eastern Melbourne region.

This is a free service.
