My daughter had struggled with school, socially, in her primary years, and transitioning in to the high school years proved more daunting. Like many kids, she was subjected to bullying, which saw her withdraw socially. I am so grateful for the support and service that MYST provides to my child. The staff are warm and welcoming, and there always seems like there’s interesting activities for the kids to get creative with. I view MYST as a crucial service to our young people, and invaluable in our community, where there are few too little resources for mental health support. I would love to see more funding to provide more centres in the future.

I was craving to be a part of something and even though it was the hardest time in my life I still have the finest memories and funniest moments. I’m unsure who or what I’d be without MYST. Its changed my whole trajectory in life, I learned how to handle myself and situations, along with controlling a situation and what’s right and wrong.
