On 27 October, KYDS held a Boardroom Lunch at EY Boardroom, 200 George Street, Sydney, uniting 18 leaders from foundations, corporate organisations, health networks, and the education sector.

The event created a powerful space for dialogue around youth mental health—offering insights into KYDS’ free, long-term counselling and support services for young people and exploring how collective action can help expand our reach and impact.

Through meaningful conversation and shared purpose, participants identified opportunities for collaboration that could help ensure more young people receive the professional support they need, when they need it most.

We extend our sincere thanks to our Ambassador, Seppi Rouzbehi, for joining the event and sharing her lived experience of receiving mental health support through KYDS. Her story was a heartfelt reminder of the importance and impact of early intervention.

Together with our partners and supporters, KYDS continues to work toward a future where every young person has access to free, quality mental health care — and the chance to thrive.
