Please make a monthly donation to give young people like Nikki the specialised care they need to conquer their addiction and mental illness.
Nikki was abused. Then she was homeless. Then she was sexually assaulted. All before the age of 16.
To cope with this trauma, Nikki used drugs and alcohol to numb the pain. Now she is addicted. Nikki desperately needs specialised treatment to address her childhood trauma and mental illness. Can you please help Nikki and hundreds of other young Australians just like her?
With the support of our generous donors, over 3,000 young people’s lives have been saved. In the six months after they graduate from the program, we see:
Sir David Martin Foundation funds Triple Care Farm – a purpose-built treatment facility designed for young people to get well and overcome their addiction.
Triple Care Farm exists to help young people like Nikki recover from their addiction and begin the long process of dealing with their underlying issues, including mental illness and childhood trauma.
It’s pretty simple actually – it is designed for teenagers and young adults. They’re not grown up yet. The things they worry about or are important to them are different to adults. In many cases their minds and bodies are still forming, and they need specialist treatment and counselling to help them recover.
What works for a 40 year old person will not work for an 18 year old.
The team at Triple Care Farm knows this better than any other and everything we do is to support, care for and help teenagers and young adults to get better.
