Is your teenager starting to think about their future career options, but feeling unsure where to begin or how to build the right skills?
The question “What does my future look like?” can feel overwhelming, especially when young people are already juggling social, academic, and personal pressures.
Our NextGen Workforce Group Program, designed specifically for 15–17 year olds, helps teens explore their strengths, discover potential career pathways, and begin developing the skills they’ll need for the world of work and beyond.
The group is facilitated by Social Worker, Cassi-Dee Muller and includes an intake assessment followed by 4 group sessions, each running for 2 hours. All sessions will be held in Agnes Water.
This group program is planned to run during November and December, and at this time The Psych Professionals is currently registering interest for this group and will then confirm an official start date and group times.
To find out more or register your interest, please contact our friendly Client Relationships Team on 07 3823 2230 or contact@psychprofessionals.com.au.

➡️ The reality of food insecurity in Australia
