A Path To Follow

A Path To Follow A Path To Follow Inc. is a newly registered charity providing Living/ed Experience Mental Health Advocacy and Peer Support Services.

At A Path To Follow, we support the mental health and well-being of young people and families through a unique peer support model, using lived experience and personalised care to help navigate mental health and foster resilience. With a team who hold a unique blend of qualifications and experiences as service users, carers and professionals in the sector, this service was founded to support young people and families in a way the current system does not. We envisage a connected community where young people and families support each other in their mental health journeys. We hope to support families to achieve this by keeping young people connected to community via pairing them with workforce peers who have living/lived mental health experiences. We seek to support families with mental health advocacy and peer support to make their mental health journeys less isolating and ensure their voices are authentically heard in a service system that finds it hard to listen. The service is flexible and personalised according to a family’s needs, using an Intentional Peer Support framework to guide best engagement and support of peers. Young people, from approximately 11 years of age are connected to the community by pairing them with a living/lived experience Youth Peer Support Worker. We meet them where they are and walk beside them as they determine their own paths forward. Service navigation, advocacy, referral guidance, emotional and practical supports are provided to parents and families in their Family Peer Advocacy and Peer Support Program. Whole of family challenges are also supported with our Single Session Family Consultation Service, where practical plans are discussed, set and reviewed as families journey through complex life situations. This support can be ongoing or short term in helping families to navigate a complex service system.

I know I am a week late...

I also know that those of you who are or have been carers will understand that caring doesn't fit timeframes.

It happens when it happens.

Thank you to all the carers of loved ones with mental health challenges. I don't say this from the perspective of a carer only, but of someone who still, at times, needs to be cared for.

We appreciate you.
Reach out if you need the support of a peer.

It's been a busy few weeks at A Path To Follow.
A busy that has certainly been tiring on one level but amazingly energising also.

A busy that involves genuine and authentic connection to the community does that.

We have just accepted a not for profit space in a local Business Networking International Chapter in Moorabbin; BNI - First Class.

Straight up I get to walk 20kms 🚶‍♀️😅 with our chapter's team and that enables A Path To Follow to be the beneficiary of all funds raised by and for our team!

Any support you can loan our team would be amazing; a donation, sharing of our event or maybe some loud barracking as we hit 13 kms on the 25th of October📣🙌👏.

Thank you to the team members signed up and those who have already or will support us.
We appreciate your support.

We are really excited to have Jay join our team.

Jay draws on his lived experience of mental health challenges to offer genuine empathy and connection to others.

He takes a creative and flexible approach to peer support, whether playing sport with peers, helping them express themselves through video editing, or providing one-to-one supports. He is motivated to be the mentor he wished he had during tough times.

Jay loves spending time with mates, in his video creation business and going to the gym.

It is well evidenced that finding and then helps to maintain positive mental health.

This weekend I am proud to be partnering with .bentleigh and .coffee to acknowledge world mental health day and the role community plays.

We would love you to help us connect and buy a coffee or two for A Path To Follow's young people and families.

We truly thank both teams for their support and connection.

It's very easy for me to miss the small, sweet stuff; to get stuck in my stuckness.

Then I let this happen. My family light my heart and lighten my soul.

I try to let myself dwell on the positive at least as much as I dwell on that which goes wrong.

Do you?

Loneliness and social isolation is found to be a major factor impacting health and contributing to suicide.

This graphic highlights just a couple examples of how mental health service users and carers experience loneliness.

A Path To Follow walks beside peers to reduce these life threatening experiences.
