Walk Of Life Training Inc.
Also known as:
WOLTi
Walk Of Life Training inc. (WOLTi) focus is to assist disengaged youth who have broken up schooling, are in trouble with the law, are homeless or suffer from abuse in their homes. To access the youth most in need we mainly work at the Brisbane Youth Detention center (BYDC) at Wacol, where most young people are not only in detention, but also suffer Drug and alcohol addictions, have learning disabilities, mental illness, abandonment and abuse. They are also at high risk of suicide and live in families caught in the cycle of generational unemployment therefore only look forward to a life dependent on welfare. The young people at the BYDC come from many locations in Queensland. We currently assist young people from the areas of Gold Coast, Logan, Western district, Scenic rim, Ipswich and Brisbane however, this year as our capacity grows we intend to cover every area from Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast. The Young people we assist are the most in need young Australians who have had a difficult upbringing and have learned many coping mechanisms leading them to making more and more wrong decisions. Many reside in homes where there is domestic violence, have been abused and have been forced or taught to commit crimes by care givers; some of them also have addictions, mental illness, and very limited schooling and a lot of them have been to detention numerous times. Many of these participants have a very unsafe home or are homeless all together; some even reoffend intentionally because detention is safer than their home. The majority do not believe they have any abilities and can never succeed at anything other than crime and they have no guidance or appropriate support at home. These young people feel unsafe and incapable to see any kind of future for themselves. Their desperate situation leads them to depression, homelessness and in some cases to suicide; but there is HOPE through our life lessons training and the individual support, which brings a beginning of optimism through a caring environment and a selfdiscovery path to confidence and motivation. We are very excited this year to be exploring the NDIS space assisting youth with specific individualised programs.
