ABOUT US (the problem)

LifeChanger’s vision is a world with more thriving, resilient people.

A large and growing number of young people are challenged by low levels of self-worth and self-esteem; leading to a multitude of negative outcomes including physical and/or mental illness. LifeChanger empowers young people by building self-esteem, self-awareness, positive self-identity and resilience along with the development of skills and strategies to manage their physical and mental health.

LifeChangers' evidence-based program, expert facilitation and trained community mentors develop young people with the emotional and social skills to live thriving, resilient lives.
