A creative space for young people

Mission Australia’s Clifton Adolescent and Family Support (CAFS) service in Sydney’s north-west is running a free creative group for young people living in the Hornsby, Ku-ring-gai and Ryde areas.

Beginning on 16 August and running every Tuesday for the following six weeks, Something Outta Space is designed to help 12 to 16-year-olds use creative tools to explore pressures like study, body image, family conflict, depression and stress - issues that our 2010 National Survey of Young Australians identified to be of concern to youth.

“The idea with Something Outta Space is that art frees you up from the inside out!” said CAFS Service Manager Nicola Hensler.

“No artistic talent is necessary, but we want local young people – or those with a connection to the area - to bring a willingness to have fun, explore and be themselves.”

The first session starts on 16 August at Level 1, 1 Coronation Street, Hornsby, and runs from 4pm to 6pm. To book please call (02) 9482 1366 and ask for our Youth Support Worker, Laura Glasby.

CAFS is an early intervention service that works holistically with young people in the city’s north-west aged who are aged from 12 to 24, as well as with their families or carers and existing services, to bring about positive change in their young lives.
