Youth Leadership & Mentoring Program
The Youth Leadership and Mentoring Program was started in 2003 by a group of young people and HFA. The vision of the program is:
For young people with haemophilia or a related bleeding disorder and their siblings to develop skills and confidence to make positive choices for the management of their health, care, recreation and personal relationships so that they can lead independent, active and fulfilling lives and participate actively in the bleeding disorders community.
The Program is run by a committee of 13 people who are selected to represent each state/territory. Meetings are held a monthly basis to discuss issues and consult, organize and participate in leadership training, organize and promote local and national activities for youth and produce quarterly Youth News.
