Breaking the Blues was a Messengers of Peace project facilitated by the Scouts Australia Youth Program Team. With support from Beyond Blue, displays and promotional resources were distributed to over 10,000 members in attendance at the 26th Australian Jamboree in January 2016, and a broader poster distribution in the following months. This saw wristbands, flipper cards, information boards, posters and online tools promoting the networks young people can call upon to support themselves or others. Some key outcomes included increased awareness about mental health and well-being, and the commencement of breaking down the stigma that mental health issues cannot be discussed within Scouting. Also part of the project was a trial of a Teen Mental Health First Aid Course. This saw a small team gather to learn more about the support networks available and the strategies to assist young people in taking the first steps towards seeking help. This is a brief descriptor about the weekend: The Teen Mental Health First Aid Course is an adaptation of the Mental Health First Aid Course, but aimed specifically at teenagers. The course was designed for year 9 High School students and this weekend was the first time that it had been run for a community group. Dr. Claire Kelly, Director of Youth Program at MHFA ran the course. Her passion is in the area of the mental health of young people and minimizing the impacts that mental health problems can have on development, education outcomes and long-term functioning. From the weekend the participants have come away with the skills to identify warning signs of friends beginning to develop a mental health problem, ways to approach their friend(s) and ways for them to contact a responsible and trusted adult, for additional help. Due to the success of this aspect of the project, recommendations are being made to have this available to all youth members in the Venturer Scout Section (ages 14-17 inclusive). Through both the Jamboree and Mental Health training, promoting access to support providers and counselling was a key element, as this is an area where professional advice is best sought. The project has become an initiator for further work, with positive feedback received and a desire for members to continue spreading the message about mental health well-being and the formal and informal support available.
