Tumbelin Outreach provides early support for students at risk of alcohol or drug harm through adventure-based learning and group connection.

Through outdoor activities and guided group discussions, students begin to explore their identity, strengthen resilience and find motivation for positive change. The program equips young people with safer decision-making skills and fosters meaningful connections with peers and mentors. By combining mentoring, counselling and adventure learning, Tumbelin Outreach offers targeted support that helps students step onto healthier pathways.

Guided by challenge-by-choice principles, students reflect on behaviour, set personal goals, and develop practical skills to make safer, more empowered decisions in their relationships and life choices.
