Our mission is to create a world first Young Carer Wellbeing Hub that plays a significant role in improving the mental health and wellbeing of Victorian Young Carers. We want Young Carers to feel safe, heard and empowered while they receive evidence-based, best practice support from specially trained practitioners. We give Young Carers the tools and strategies to manage their mental health and wellbeing which they will carry for life. We’re committed to making the Hub a place of respite, acceptance and community for Young Carers, allowing them to take a break from their caring duties and focus on their own wellbeing.

The Hub aligns with the core values of Little Dreamers – hungry, humble and kind. As a mental health and wellbeing service, we also adhere to a unique set of values that form the foundation of our work with Young Carers.

• We approach all situations and people with curiosity by asking thoughtful questions.
• We help Young Carers and families to experience safety by being reliable, consistent and transparent.
• We feel compassion and understand that you are a human being, just like us.
• We promote a culture of acceptance so you can show up exactly as you are.
• We provide support that is for you, led by you.

Our Hub is a vibrant and welcoming community space, set within a beautiful, light-filled building in St Kilda, Victoria. Inside, you’ll find a reception area that offers a friendly point of contact, and three thoughtfully designed therapy rooms that provide calm, comfortable spaces for one-on-one sessions and group support. We also have kitchen facilities and gender neutral bathrooms on site.

The Little Dreamers HQ is also housed at the Hub, delivering support programs to improve the quality of life for Young Carers across Australia.

Big thanks to the Brian M. Davis Charitable Foundation for their support in helping us get the Hub up and running!
