Mentoring and Respite (Ecotherapy)
A completely unique mentoring program for youth at risk, disabled, mental health and
drug/substance abuse consumers which provides a combination of community
linking and location based behavioral modification.
Balunjali provides a unique outcome based respite and mentoring service within our region. Balunjali employs individuals who are at the top of their fields of endeavor so that they can provide the relevant mentoring support, charisma and skill sets needed to instill positive change for each individual they work with.
The key aim of our specialist support workers is to provide respite AND to instill positive ‘society functioning’ skills in their clients.

Balunjali utilises the natural environment and eco-therapy principles in order to achieve outcome based goals for respite and mentoring clients.
They may also assist to improve essential life skills such as communication and interpersonal skills, decision-making and critical thinking skills and coping and self-management skills.
Balunjali takes clients out into the natural environment and utilize specific locations that hold importance within white and indigenous Australian culture in order to achieve many of the above goals. In many circumstances it is essential that clients are taken out of their natural environment as this allows their cognition systems to process change.

This is supported by conjecture associated with NLP and other current psychological theory. The incidental exercise that is gained by the client during these expeditions is also advantageous to their recovery as exercise is proven to boost confidence along with reducing anxiety and stress - all of which contribute to psychological health and well-being. This nature exploration is balanced with community linking in order to maximize the sustainability of positive changes within each service user.
Unique locations are utilized throughout our mentoring and respite intervention to promote and instill positive behavioral modification.
