Baw Baw Shire Council leads the Live4Life Baw Baw partnership, which works to improve youth mental health, reduce stigma and help prevent youth suicide. Live4Life Baw Baw launched in 2020 and is delivered in partnership with local secondary schools, education providers and community agencies across the Shire. Live4Life communities deliver Teen Mental Health First Aid and accredited Youth Mental Health First Aid training in schools and across the wider community. Council’s Youth Officer leads the student engagement component of the program, known as The Crew. Made up of students from participating secondary schools, The Crew helps coordinate, design and deliver positive mental health promotion activities throughout the year, supported by school staff and Council officers.
