Since 2018 the team at Walkabout Bros have been busy designing adventure programs to support the Mental Health and wellbeing of individuals Australia wide. Our goal is to incorporate indigenous practice and culture, modern psychology and neuroscience to assist the management of stress and pressure for the modern-day student/youth and adult workforce.
Mental Health support is not a “one size fits all” proses and unfortunately the current crisis has overloaded the nations capabilities and our Mental Health professionals, to a point where it can take upto 3 months to see a professional. we need to take action.
Our indigenous team members, traditional owners of the land that we call home provide exclusive access to some of Australia’s pristine and breath-taking locations. Teaching traditional knowledge of survival and practises to keep them alive within the community, also creating avenues of employment within the indigenous space. Supporting Indigenous Culture to not only stay alive, but to thrive for generations to come. Our yearly investment to the Indigenous community is forecast to be $228,600.00 per location, per year. Combined with our wide range of facilitators from Defence members to Yoga instructors, Accountants, Artists and musicians that come on the journey to share their stories of success and failures to empower our clients’ chances of success within their chosen fields.
During our stay at these breathtaking locations, our clients engage in individual and group activities to expose their character and unlock talents and skills that may have been previously unknown. Activities are structured to engage the individual’s problem-solving capabilities, planning and communication skills as well as emotional awareness. Some activities include:
This is the culmination of the previous activities. The individual writes 3 paragraphs of there current view on life and their aspirations: Personal-Professional-Relationship. The first Paragraph is the What, what do they want to achieve in the next 5 years. The next is Why they want to achieve set goals, and the third is How. After writing these goals the individual then presents their aspirations to the group. This in turn teaches humility, accountability and above all communication. It is then up to the group to support each other with their talents and strengths to compensate for the others weaknesses creating a community of support and forging bonds that will last a lifetime.
We believe it takes a village to raise a child and to empower an individual’s passion to a purpose. Walkabout Bros want to facilitate these relationships built on a common ground of honesty, humility, empowerment, and a passion for creating a stronger future for generations to come within their community.
From private adventures to a group of 50, we can accommodate your school or businesses staff/students to become the best version of themselves. We currently donate 50% of our yearly profit to subsidise and sponsor those that are economically or situationally unable to attend our programs, helping make mental support accessible to everyone. We are also aiming to create a scholarship to support those who want to become mental health professionals and help save lives and prevent systemic mental illness.
If this feels like the next step needed to progress yourself, your children or someone you know in their personal, educational, or professional future we would love to hear from you.
All we ask is for 20seconds to fill our Expression of Interest Survey (Link Below) to help us gain the funding we need to make this Free and accessible for all Australians.
Let's turn that spark to a flame, to light the darkness and warm the cold of metal health sufferers everywhere.
