00:00Hi, I'm Tash. I'm a lived experience peer worker at Project Youth.
00:05Before this, I was 16 and experiencing homelessness.
00:09I didn't know about Project Youth, where to go,
00:12or who I could talk to about what was going on.
00:14That's why, in conjunction with six other peer workers,
00:18we've created CompassPoint.
00:20CompassPoint is all about providing that information, advice
00:23and guidance to young people when they're finding it hard
00:26to navigate the system.
00:28It's really scary and confusing trying to find out where to go
00:31and how you can get help, and with the help of other peer workers
00:34who have the understanding and have had similar situations,
00:37we want to be there to help you and to help other young people
00:41who may be experiencing these challenges.
