headspace Port Adelaide is committed to youth participation. There are various ways in which young people can get involved, primarily headspace Port Adelaide's Youth Reference Group (YRG)

YRG is a diverse team of young people aged between 16 and 24 years old, that attend and coordinate events in addition to providing consultation and guidance to the staff of headspace Port Adelaide in order to maintain the centre's youth focus.

The aim of our YRG is to:
• Reduce the stigma surrounding mental health
• Encourage early help seeking
• Improve mental health literacy
• Improve the knowledge of where to access youth specific information and resources of services headspace offer to young people, family and friends, carers, professionals and academics working in the youth and health sector
• Promote early recognition of mental health issues among teachers, family and friends and support staff
• Create partnerships with local organisations and members of the community
• Create conversation locally
• Strengthen the headspace brand
