What is ABC4Me?

Empowering Youth Through Positive Mental Health

ABC4Me is a dynamic, proven program dedicated to cultivating positive mental health, resilience, and social cohesion in teenagers and young adults. Born in Emerald, Queensland, the program originated from active-involvement techniques established by psychologists for adults.

The program evolved as it expanded to schools in the UK, India, and Sri Lanka. Designed for versatility, ABC4Me can be adapted to various settings.

Today, it has been reshaped through modern pedagogy and psychological development to specifically target youth, equipping them with essential life skills for the future. Its effectiveness lies in the expertise of our trained supervisors and mentors, who facilitate crucial debriefing sessions after activities.

Globally tested

Forged Worldwide for Greater Impact

The journey of ABC4Me began in the heart of rural Queensland, steadily growing and evolving during a formative season in the state’s north. To ensure its universal impact, the program’s core framework was rigorously tested and refined through targeted sessions in the UK and USA, and further forged amidst the unique environments of developing nations like India and Sri Lanka. Throughout this global evolution, founder Greg Taylor deepened the program’s clinical and strategic foundations by securing advanced mental health training alongside postgraduate degrees in leadership, management, and counseling. Today, ABC4Me has proudly come home to the Central Highlands, bringing with it the profound depth, resilience, and capacity expected of a world-class program dedicated to empowering teenagers with vital psychosocial skills and lifelong positive mental health.

Our approach

Play - Reflect - Grow

ABC4Me Health (or just ABC4Me) is short Activity Based Courses for Mental and Emotional Health. The programme uses guided reflection and interactive activities. We employ flexible, age-appropriate adventure games so kids, teens, and young adults can naturally work together, talk, and be adaptable in a safe setting to “learn through play”. Much like STEM programmes, it’s more than just theory. Students physically engage with their learning. By using non-threatening, emotionally safe games, ABC4Me helps people make connections in their own mental health, their individual worldview, and the way they connect with others.

Reflection enables true development. After the active sessions, professional mentors and supervisors lead crucial debriefing sessions to help participants understand, express, and apply what they learned to real-world issues. The project teaches young people life skills, resilience, and positive emotional habits through active participation and structured reflection.
