MAD News!

What an amazing camp with such an amazing group of young people. The weekend was full of fun, tears and laughter but there was mever a dull moment with this bunch. The MAD family is only becoming stronger.


Thank you to Shell's QGC Business Community Grant for sponsoring this program!


What is MAD?

MAD is a program for young people aged 12-18 that are struggling with anything in their day to day life. At MAD we try to create a family-like atmosphere where young people feel free in a safe environment, to share what they are going through. What makes the MAD Program different and successful is our young people find answers from each other in a peer support enviroment, from other young people that have dealt with similar circumstances.
