Volunteer Story

Callum Anderson - An Inspiring story

Volunteer Highlight

Callum’s life changed when he sought help, feeling isolated and overwhelmed. Two Youth Insearch supporters, Mal and Guy, visited him in hospital, showing him, he wasn’t alone in his struggles. Their encouragement gave Callum the strength to open up about his challenges and the lack of support he felt at home.

Realising the importance of a positive environment, Callum made the lifechanging decision to move in with his father, Peter. This fresh start gave him stability, hope, and the chance to focus on his future.

Now, Callum is thriving. He’s in Stage 3 of the Youth Insearch Leadership program, studying nursing at TAFE, and dreams of becoming a Youth Insearch peer worker to help others facing similar challenges. His journey shows the power of support, connection, and believing in a brighter future.
