Meet the Youth Media Team

Hi! We are the Youth Coalition’s Youth Media Team – Caitlin, Courtney, Isabel, Lizzie and Zohra.

In Term 4 of 2015, the Youth Coalition put the word out to schools for volunteer students interested in journalism, media and advocacy to join their education campaign. We are the five people who put our hands up and jumped on board.

We are the faces behind the words, filming and editing of the interviews with services and principals about mental health supports in school that you’ll find in this section of the website.

Read about why we are passionate about mental health supports in school.

Watch our interviews with services.

Caitlin

I decided to turn a dark period in my life into something that myself and others can learn from.

Courtney

I am a passionate youth activist, advocating at both a local and national level and hope to lead a career of advocacy in the future.

Isabel

I am a digital media and political fanatic. I also love music and will hardly ever be seen without headphones in my ears.

Lizzie

In my ideal world, students would be supported at school for their mental health very carefully and personally.

Zohra

I was eager to get involved so that I could share my passion with other members of the community.
