One Eighty Inc.

One Eighty is youth mental health done differently. The organisation was founded by Paris Jeffcoat and Samantha Callender in 2017 in response to a number of youth suicides that were occurring on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia. In particular, it was the suicides of two young men - both of whom were in one of the co-founders cohort from the local high school - that catalysed the creation of the organisation. Our mission is to lead the way for peer-to-peer models of community support, raise the profile of exceptional existing services, and reimagine what youth engagement in the NFP sector looks like. One Eighty is focused on local impact through a grass roots, bottom up approach focusing on prevention and early intervention through our flagship programs.
