💛 THANK YOU, PORT STEPHENS! 💛

What a beautiful night! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us, donated, sponsored, volunteered and supported our Jupiter Mental Health Gala last Friday. Our hearts are so full of gratitude for the incredible community that continues to show up for young people’s mental health.

We were incredibly fortunate to hear from the inspiring Ruth Wilson OAM, who shared stories of her remarkable adventures, reminding us of the power of courage, resilience and embracing life's opportunities.

Another particularly special moment was hearing from our Jupiter counsellor and Youth Ambassador, Elodie, who spoke about the importance of having somewhere safe to turn when life feels overwhelming. Their conversation was a beautiful reminder of why accessible mental health support matters so much, and the difference it can make when young people know there is someone ready to listen.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, donated, sponsored, volunteered and helped make the evening such a success. Your generosity reminds us just how much can be achieved when a community comes together.

One of the most meaningful moments of the evening was the launch of the Geoffrey Basser Memorial Fund - a fund dedicated to helping young people access counselling when they are unable to make a financial contribution.

A very special thank you to Kate Washington, who kick-started the fund with a generous personal donation. Kate has been a wonderful supporter of Jupiter since its inception, and we are so grateful for her continued belief in what we do. 💛

We now invite our community to join Kate in growing this fund. Every contribution, big or small, will help ensure that financial circumstances don't stand in the way of a young person getting the support they need.

KYDS Youth Counselling and jupiter - Space to Talk provide free mental health care for young people in Port Stephens and Sydney for over 20 years. Since being opened in 2019, the Salamander Bay and Raymond Terrace service has delivered over 12,000 consultations to over 1,700 young people aged 12-25, with no GP referral or Mental Health Treatment Plan required. When funding pressures threatened jupiter's future, a 2024 merger with KYDS kept local services running and strengthened clinical oversight. In 2025, jupiter delivered 2,454 hours of counselling within KYDS's wider program of over 10,000 free counselling sessions annually. Young people can seek help early, supported by a service that works alongside their families, schools and community.
