LifeChanger recently joined forces with Athletes for Hope for an inspiring webinar, led by our Founder, Scott Watters! It was a timely conversation given the recent tragedies within the AFL and sporting community. They dove deep into the power of social connection, mental well-being, and community in the sporting world—tackling key conversations around athlete journeys, personal growth, transitions, and leadership. Let’s keep reconnecting, building bridges, and supporting each other on and off the field.💬 #LifeChanger #AthletesForHope #StrongerTogether

🌟 Building confidence in Year 9 students starts with the small wins! 🌟 During a recent workshop at Ohana College, we explored some great strategies for helping students boost their confidence, from setting achievable goals to embracing mistakes as learning opportunities. 💡 It’s all about creating a supportive environment where they can grow, take risks, and celebrate their progress! 🙌 LifeChanger Foundation #YouthWorkshops #MentalHealth #Confidence #Schools

Yesterday, our CEO Scott Watters spent the afternoon with some impressive young leaders - sharing the important message (and practical skills) about creating meaningful connections within your school and community and taking the opportunity to lead 💪✊ These are the afternoons that fill your cup with hope!
A fantastic night at Wesley College kicking off our year of Australian Boarding Schools Association events. Thanks to Tom Giles and Tyler Gavralas for hosting and extra special thanks to Andrew Schuyler for securing our guest speaker Scott Watters. Our student and staff leaders were engaged by the topic of making an impact through building meaningful relationships and making our connections count. Such an invaluable message in boarding communities. Through the Victorian Australian Boarding Schools Association committee this year, we aim to promote relationships and support school leaders and heads of boarding as we navigate the complex and “never a dull minute” world of boarding. Thanks also to Claire van Boxel and Andrew Monk and looking forward to a wonderful relationship building year ahead!

We had an awesome time today with the Year 12s at Elanora State High School for our StressLess workshop, all about rethinking stress! 🧠 ⚡ It’s time to change the conversation—stress isn’t the enemy. It’s a natural part of life that we can learn to manage and even use to fuel growth. 🤗 I’m so excited to keep helping students take control of how they experience and respond to stress. This workshop is NEW and IMPROVED for 2025 and it's all about shifting perspective and making stress work in your favour! 🌟✨ **Some Post-It Prompts Feedback from our Students: - What did you enjoy most about the workshop? - What is your main takeaway from the workshop? Check out my work, LifeChanger Foundation, if you'd like us to run workshops at your school! 💛 #YouthMentalHealth #Workshops #StressLess #Schools

Earlier this week LifeChanger founder Scott Watters, had the honour to speak at a Buckmaster Hawkey event, proudly hosted by our great friends at Macquarie Group. Scott spent the morning highlighting the challenges young people face today, the power of meaningful connections with our kids, and the vital role our corporate partners play in making a difference when it comes to youth mental health. This was a great reminder of the powerful role that the business community plays in shaping a better future for young people. A huge thank you to Buckmaster Hawkey and Macquarie for choosing to support LifeChanger with proceeds from the event —your generosity is truly life-changing! 🙌 #Makingadifference #LifeChanger

Very inspiring group to share time with! So much to learn about athlete transition by actually listening to the individuals journey. In light of recent tragedies, exploring different ways to support, learn and improve is critical if we really value the individuals not just as athletes but as people. Scott
As mental health conversations continued to ripple through Australia's sport industry last week, we were privileged to have LifeChanger Foundation CEO, founder and former AFL player and coach Scott Watters deliver a timely workshop for the AFHA Athlete Community. Focusing on athlete transition, leadership, mental health and wellbeing, Scott shared his reflections navigating AFL as an athlete and coach. With current and former athletes from basketball, AFLW, rugby league, tennis and netball on the call, many of his reflections rang true for the group, from transitioning back from injury and selection/non-selection, re-positioning how we think about retirement from sport and how we reflect on our athlete journeys in hindsight. We also learnt of the depth and breadth of the work LifeChanger are doing to empower youth across Australia and New Zealand with the courage to thrive, with more than 116,000 young people impacted since its inception. We considered our own Hero Types and were guided through thought provoking discussions to consider our own approach to leadership, our mental health and wellbeing, and how we can support others as they navigate their sporting pathways. Amongst many activities and discussions, Scott left us all with a Connection Challenge for the following day/s: ✅ Give a Shout Out to someone ✅ Reconnect with someone ✅ Build a Bridge with someone Small tasks with meaningful impact. Try to complete your own Connection Challenge this week! Thank you for sharing your time with us Scott Watters and Samantha Corfield and we can't wait to see the impact of LifeChanger Foundation continue to grow!

Remember how nerve-wracking it was going from being a big Grade 6'er to teeny-weeny Year 7? 😅 Our Immersion Workshop is a fun and interactive session that guides participants through self-discovery, peer connections, and future goals.🌟 "LifeChanger has helped me. When I get overwhelmed I go to the things that they have taught me and I use it almost every day - so I think that they should keep coming back because it is helping me, and my family and friends - because I go home and tell my family what we do, and it is helping everyone that I know." Let’s turn those nerves into confidence! 💪 #LifeChangerWorkshops #YouthEmpowerment
