About Reconnect

Reconnect is an early intervention service designed to help young people (12 – 18 years) who are at risk of homelessness. Reconnect at QYS has been assisting young people in Townsville for over 20 years and aims to help young people improve their housing situation, reconcile with their family (wherever practicable) and improve their level of engagement with education, training, employment and the general community.

Our objectives are to;

• Reconcile young people with their family while helping to overcome conflict and create a support system for the young person.
• Improve the well-being and mental health of at risk young people
• Connect young people with service providers that will help improve their well-being and mental health.
• Re-engage or strengthen young people’s engagement with education or training, the community and employment
