Youth Insearch is a leading youth charity, providing case management and peer support to assist at-risk young people to overcome childhood trauma, improve their mental health, reduce involvement in offending behaviours and prevent youth suicide.

In 2020 the organisation was awarded $730,577 over three years to help deliver a specialised peer-to-peer program including weekend workshops, weekly local support groups, coupled with tailored case management support provided by youth support workers embedded across seven communities in the Western Downs, Wide Bay and greater Brisbane regions.

In 2023, Youth Insearch was awarded a further $350,000 to extend the program for an additional year.
