About Us
Grow With Grit is a mental health organisation built on the belief that coping with the daily stressors of life requires more than just strength.
What We Believe
We believe young people need education to understand and navigate mental challenges, culture to stay rooted and remember who they are, and a vibrant community where they feel a true sense of belonging.
Through these pillars, we create safe spaces where youth can embrace vulnerability, build resilience, and develop empathy - because growth happens best when we are supported and connected.
Our Story
Grow With Grit began with a shared concern: many young people navigate emotional challenges without safe spaces to reflect, express, or feel supported. For years, strength was framed as endurance - pushing through difficulties alone. But lived experience showed us that wellbeing is shaped by connection, identity, and access to understanding.
Grow With Grit was created to support young people through mental health education, cultural grounding, and community-driven spaces. Our work is not about fixing individuals, but about nurturing environments where growth, reflection, and belonging are possible.
We believe vulnerability fosters resilience, empathy builds connection, and no one should have to face challenges alone.
