Young people can face all sorts of pressures – including problems at school, with friends or at home.
connectEDspace is a website by Relationships Australia Victoria (RAV), dedicated to young people to help provide all the information they need to deal with the stuff they go through each day.

RAV provides support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and individuals to help strengthen family relationships.
Counselling provides an opportunity to talk with a professionally trained person to discuss couple issues, conflicts with friends, relationship breakdown, parenting, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, grief, sexual problems, childhood sexual abuse, stress and work related tensions and disputes.
We address mental health at all stages, with preventative and early intervention mental health services, as well as support for families experiencing mental health difficulties.
Reclaim is a dedicated support service for adults surviving child sexual abuse in organisational settings. The program is funded by the Australian Government to support the work of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
We evaluate our services and undertake research to enable us to highlight issues, service gaps and areas for improvement, and measure the effectiveness of our services.
All employees require a satisfactory National Police Check (undertaken by RAV), centre staff must have a current Working with Children Check with RAV listed.
