Our Approach: Supporting Youth Through Real-World Connection

Here at CALM Youth we believe there is not one perfect solution in combating disengagement and hardships that young people are experiencing. We know that young people's environment can be complex and present challenges thus the root of their issues are unique. At CALM Youth we have built a holistic approach in getting on the front foot to help be a source of motivation and inspiration for young people. Our multi pronged approach is designed to support young people in any phase of their life they are in or transitioning into.

All of our programs are tailored to have a more direct impact and are built on real world experiences thus leading to reliability.
Supporting Youth Through Real-World Connection

Inspiring Purpose Through Passion (IPTP)Calm schools

Inspiring Purpose Through Passion is a 5 week early intervention program that utilises a project based model which prompts young people through a journey of self discovery and reflection underpinned by their interests and passions. IPTP can be catered to all ages as the content from program to program changes based on the challenges and hardships young people in attendance are currently facing.
  • Inspiring purpose through passion (IPTP) is an early intervention program tailored to students experiencing disengagement. IPTP seeks to aid young people in their educational and social transitions.
  • The program is designed by young people and allows participants of IPTP to lead a self-determined personal development journey through a creative project-based model.
  • IPTP has a strong emphasis on customising framework to fit the needs of each student, thus leading to the most authentic self-expression of purpose assisted through passion.
  • Students will complete a 5 week “self-discovery” portfolio centred around their passions and interests which can be used to be applied on a broader spectrum in everyday life and their many transitions they will experience. The portfolio will be a collection of each week’s activities and will allow students to understand who they are, what they like, what they aren’t great at, and ultimately where do they want to be. All in a creative manner stemmed from their passions.

On Going resources and support (CYP)

Expanding our approach further we offer ongoing resources and support for young people. We are committed to being a resource for schools to access to help increase disengagement in the classroom. After the completion of IPTP students have access to receive support in the form of professional expertise, advice and funding towards their passion based endeavours. Watering young people's seeds of passion helps them to stay engaged and invest energy into endeavours furthering their development.

One Off motivational speeches
Calm schools

We understand that schools may not have the capacity to facilitate a 5 week program. We offer one-off motivational speeches in which we meet with year level leaders and create a tailored presentation addressing the key issues the group in attendance needs to hear. We mix in the school's core values, add the key principles of CALM and you get the perfect recipe of motivation and inspiration to help lift spirits during a long school year.

CALM Experience - Work experience programs

As we continue to add layers to our approach a foundational piece for senior highschool students is our work experience program. For those young people passionate about giving back and working with young people we have devised a program unlike other work experiences as it is driven by fellow young people only a few years removed from them. Program participants will have the ability help conduct our early intervention program Inspiring Purpose Through Passion. This is a great opportunity for young people to gain practical skills and get an insight into how their future may look in a fun, stress free environment.

Instilling Ethics In Athletes Calm Sports

Going further then our School programs following the interest in our services we have developed Instilling Ethics In Athletes which is a full virtual mentorship model. Within competitive sports, coaches often lack the skills to deal with the emotions of players as they fixated on teaching the "Xs and Os". This is where we step in to bridge the gap between player and coach. Our virtual mentor service includes:
  • Onboarding to CALM Sport Platform
  • Weekly messaging and contact with sports mentor
  • Fortnightly personalised videos
  • Monthly opportunity to zooms to ask specific questions and seek feedback.
With all mentors being players turned coaches they posses the skills to view every situation through the same lens a player is but is also able to put on their coaching hat to provide unique insight.
