We want to change the story & We want you to help. The statistics are scary: 1 in 7 young Australians experience mental health condition Suicide in young Australians is the highest it has been in 10 years Suicide is the biggest killer of young Australians and accounts for the deaths of more young people than car accidents For husband and wife team (and Homestead for Youth founders), Carla and Marty Fadelli, these statistics are unacceptable. They became frustrated with these statistics and especially from experiencing, at first hand, the gaps in the systems for young people, placed in the bracket of “able to help themselves” yet clearly not able to do so. So, they decided to do something and change the story associated with these statistics. In 2009, recently married, Carla and Marty started looking after teenagers and young people by providing emergency, residential and long term living arrangements. By providing young people with a safe refuge and a home, Carla, a registered psychologist saw how more relaxed and open they were with her therapy. This started their innovative approach (link to Our approach) to youth mental health, and in 2014, established Homestead for Youth at their parents’ 5 acre property in the Swan Valley. The H4Y story today… In 2016, the suicide epidemic in the Peel region of Western Australia drove Homestead for Youth to move their now farm home base to Meelon. At this 148 acres farm home, we are changing the story, day by day, one young person at a time. Find out how we’re changing lives

at risk, (and their families) by providing residential services, mentoring, counselling, holistic and
innovative therapies and psychology care in the homely setting of their Meelon farm.
With a focus on fixing the gaps in our youth development and mental health system, some of
Homestead For Youth’s unique and successful outcomes-based therapy approaches include:
residential “family style” recovery home, hands-on programs (e.g. equine therapy and car
restoration), empowering and strength based suicide prevention messages, and sensory animal
farm therapy (the first in Western Australia).
The team at Homestead For Youth believe that if everyone plays a small part in empowering,
supporting and strengthening young people, we can, together, make a big difference in so
many young lives!

Kate
“When I came to Homestead For Youth I was scared and I didn’t want to
do anything, because I thought it was just teaching. Now I enjoy coming
here and spending time with the horses. When I’m with Blizzard it makes
me feel happy. At camp I learnt to love myself no matter what and don’t
compare yourself to other people. I would definitely tell my friends to
come here if they needed any help.”
Jodie
“I’ve got four kids. We’ve all been involved in Homestead For Youth. I
needed support as a mother. I was struggling with parenting, juggling with
each one of my children in different ways. They were struggling with
emotions, low self esteem and anger. We just really needed some family
support. The kids were quite nervous coming out but felt really relaxed
with the farm environment. I would definitely recommend Homestead For
Youth to families. I really think it’s good to have a holistic approach where
the whole family can get the help and therapy not just the one child.”

14. Alarming Statistics
“1 in 7 young Australians experience mental health condition”
“Suicide is the biggest killer of young Australians and accounts for the deaths of more young
people than car accidents.”
“There is, on average, 6 suicides a day.”
At Homestead For Youth, we believe that if everyone plays a part in empowering, supporting
and strengthening young people, we can, together, make a big difference in so many young
lives.
We welcome your support and help to rewrite the stories of our youth, so they don’t end up
part of the current statistics. Let’s break the cycles while we can.
You too can
change the
story.
