About The Village Northern Beaches

It takes a village to raise a child. This organisation has been set up to help support the adults who are helping our youth aged 12 and above survive and thrive in a complex world. The founders of The Village have qualifications in Community Services, live on the Northern Beaches and have many years of lived experience imperfectly but consciously raising 7 teens/young adults between them. Though the Northern Beaches is a beautiful spot with many opportunities for our kids, we are not exempt from the typical struggles faced by adolescents in the 2020s. Issues of mental health, social difficulties, eating disorders, addiction, school disengagement, grief, LGBTQI+ challenges, trouble with the law, non-suicidal self-injury, suicidal ideation etc are more common than social media would have us believe. On this page parents, carers, educators and professionals on the Northern Beaches of Sydney can help support each other to support our youth It's our job as the adults in their lives. This group will put a spotlight on issues and identify support services that are available locally and facilitate peer support so that we can all be The Village our kids need. We take a trauma-informed, child-centred, holistic approach to supporting people in crisis and will operate this page on the foundations of compassion, kindness, collaboration, non-judgement and support.
