headspace makes a difference to youth mental health

Every donation will help to make a difference to local youths in our community. 

headspace Knox provides early intervention mental health services to young people aged 12-25 and their families.

The team at headspace Knox understands that adolescence and early adulthood is a critical time in a young person’s life, with research highlighting that more than 75% of mental health disorders begin before the age of 25.



headspace Knox provides a holistic approach to supporting young people early in life through four core areas: mental health, physical and sexual health, work and study support, and alcohol and other drugs.

Further to this, headspace Knox is incredibly involved with the local community and has a Youth Advisory Group - the Youth Action Force who supports the Community Engagement Coordinator in running community events, community groups, and presentations to local schools, organisations, and sporting clubs.
