Building resilience together, every step of the way.
Step Forward Health Society exists to promote mental health by providing individuals, couples and families access to mental health support through qualified mental health counselling and educational and group support programs.
Our mission is to promote health by providing individuals with access to mental health support through qualified mental health counselling, information and group support programs.
What We Do
We provide access to qualified mental health programs for individuals, couples, and families and work to reduce financial barriers that would otherwise prevent access to these services.
We also provide education and training programs to promote health within schools and youth sports programs.
Our Story
We started our journey as two separate entities – 140 Sports Association, and the Step Forward Program at Alongside You.
140 Sports has had a lengthy history of implementing mental health training programs into youth sports.
The Step Forward Program started as subsidy program at Alongside You from 2015-2022, and provided over $500,000 in subsidized mental health services to the community.
In 2023, after many years of partnership and working together, 140 Sports Association and Alongside You joined forces, and moved the Step Forward Program out of the clinic and into our charity and have become the Step Forward Health Society.
We will continue to operate 140 Sports programs and the Step Forward Program at the Step Forward Health Society, and we are looking to expand these programs to provide even more accessible support and beneficial outcomes in the community.
