The resources developed by CALD youth in Darwin are focused on addressing the highest priority mental health needs/issues of social isolation, belonging, school and work pressure, and breakdowns in communication with parents/caregivers. Short videos and a podcast series were chosen as a medium that resonates best with a young audience.

The podcast series ‘Hear Us Out’ consists of 5 episodes which explore topics such as intergenerational communication, intercultural differences, food, and mental health. The video series ‘Hear Us Out’ features the stories of 4 CALD youth with key messages meant to both inspire other young people and inform educators of their underlying feelings and behaviours. Each video consists of a key message and take away reflections. Check out the resources via the links below:
