Culturally responsive mental health and wellbeing support for multicultural young people.
About the program
Reverb 2.0 is a partnership initiative between young multicultural people, the Centre for Multicultural Youth (CMY) and headspace National (headspace).
In this unique partnership, expertise and lived experience are brought together in a multi-pronged, preventative mental health initiative. Multicultural lived experience is embedded to address stigma, build cultural responsiveness and increase young people’s confidence to seek support.
Objectives
The program aims to ensure lasting impact for multicultural communities by enhancing access to culturally safe mental health and wellbeing supports. Reverb 2.0 is focusing on two main areas in 2025:
- Wellbeing workshops for schools
Workshops aim to address stigma and increase understanding of mental health and wellbeing, using peer to peer strength to build confidence, and provide practical skills and approaches to help seeking behaviours. - Culturally responsive professional development workshops
Culturally responsive professional development workshops delivered to headspace centres to develop understanding of effectively engaging multicultural young people in mental health.
“What makes the Reverb 2.0 program unique is its multipronged approach, where we support school students with an understanding of mental health and how to seek support, BUT also go on to empower headspace staff to better take care of these young people.” – Reverb Youth Advocate, 2025.
