Supporting The Living Room, Powered by Youth Projects in August & September

Every two months Dr. Bronner's chooses an organisation we align with to donate proceeds from the first 100 sales of our Deluxe Sample Packs. Throughout August and September, we're supporting The Living Room, Powered by Youth Projects.

The Living Room Entry

Youth Projects, founded in 1984, is an independent, registered charity that provides health, outreach, employment, education, and training services to individuals experiencing disadvantage including unemployment, homelessness, mental health challenges, and alcohol and other drug dependency. It operates under six domains of service: homelessness, primary health, mental health, alcohol and other drugs, employment and training, and social enterprise.

The Living Room, located in Melbourne's Hosier Lane, is a unique primary health service offered by Youth Projects. The service provides free healthcare and support to improve the physical, mental, and social well-being of individuals who are, or are at risk of, experiencing homelessness. It is the only service of its kind in Melbourne and is distinguished by its focus on the social determinants of health. This approach allows the organisation to look beyond diseases or illnesses to understand and address the overall situation of each person.  Its multi-disciplinary team works collaboratively with individuals to identify their goals, focusing on harm minimisation, self-determination, and empowerment. This personalised care is essential in providing holistic support.
