Get Involved

Life Ed Qld’s programs aim to empower children and young people to make safer and healthier choices through education.

Through our program we focus on the key influences on a child’s health and wellbeing, including: nutrition, cyber safety, alcohol, smoking, drugs, bullying, emotional health and relationships.

There are many health challenges children and young Queenslanders face today. As stated in The health of Queenslanders 2020 – Report of the Chief Health Officer by Queensland Health some of these challenges include:

• 25% of children in Queensland are overweight or obese;
• 68% of children are meeting daily recommendations for servings of fruit;
• 46% of children are meeting physical activity recommendations;
• 45% of children were sunburnt in the previous 12 months; and
• Mental health is a growing concern and affects health and wellbeing across the lifespan.

To help Life Ed Qld tackle these challenges, there are lots ways you can support Queensland children and young people.

From educating yourself further about health education or making a donation, you can join the thousands of Queenslanders actively making a difference in the lives of our children.
