Streetwork's Northern Beaches Board donned their aprons and manned the Bunnings BBQ at the local Balgowlah warehouse. Thank you to everyone who purchased sausage sandwiches - the profits from the day will go to supporting vulnerable young people who live in the Northern Beaches to turn their lives around and thrive.

SPREAD THE LOVE TODAY!
Whether you believe in Cupid or not, giving to support vulnerable young people living in your local community will nourish your heart with the happiness that comes from doing something good! Our young people are masking their trauma - neglect, abuse, bullying, poverty - with risk-taking behaviours. Streetwork's professional youth caseworkers remove the hurdles that are stopping some of Sydney's most vulnerable youth from thriving. Please support a young person who is doing it tough by donating here https://www.streetwork.org.au.

Visit Grill'd Chatswood, Balgowlah, or Dee Why during the month of February, and remember to pop your charity token into the Streetwork jar. While you're there, try the chip platter - it's delicious! #Turningyounglivesaround together with Grill'd #westandforyouth #youthcharity #donatetodtoday #corporatepartnerswanted
Our CPR Refresher morning
At Streetwork it's mandatory for staff to have their CPR training refreshed every year and after completing the online training modules and then practicing our technique, we are all now up to date.
Why is CPR training important? The majority of sudden cardiac arrests occur outside of hospital so medical staff aren't at hand to take responsibility. Performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on someone who has suffered an Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest can double the chance of the person surviving, so resuscitation is a skill worth learning.

YOUNG PERSON CAPTURES ZOMBIE ON VIDEO!
One of the first things our Streetwork youth caseworkers do when a vulnerable young person joins our mentoring program is to find out their interests or hobbies. It might be graffiti art, rap music, songwriting, photography, or movies. The trick is finding it. Once you validate a young person's interest you can start to speak their language and let them know you care about them as a unique person.
We recently had a young person who was interested in video content production. Our talented agency - Casual Films - supported him (and his talented Zombie youth caseworker!) - to create and edit this video.
Thankyou ANZ Community Foundation.
