Jayden Delbridge
Founder, UrVoice Australia
I created UrVoice Australia because I lost someone to suicide and decided it was time to stand up. I was seeing my own peers struggle and not feel validated. I've been a mental health advocate since 2019 and it has led me to do amazing things and hear amazing stories. I am driven by these stories to create a safer, more open tomorrow.
My Story
After facing my own personal experience with suicide loss, I created UrVoice Australia. As someone who has felt the impact of losing someone to suicide, I decided it was time to stand up. UrVoice Australia aims to help students with early intervention and education in mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
​
In 2019, in collaboration with Councillor Greg Best, I helped introduce "Jayden’s Message – Suicide Prevention 2020" to Central Coast Council. That ratified Central Coast Council’s support for World Suicide Prevention Day and provided a report on suicide prevention initiatives on the Central Coast. Following this, in January 2020, I was nominated for the Central Coast “Youth of the Year Award” for significant contribution to the community.
Also in 2020, I partook in Central Coast Council’s IGNITE Business Launchpad and consequentially received mentorship from Adam Mostogl. In addition, I was named ‘Emerging Young Entrepreneur of the Year’ of St. Peter’s Catholic College. Also at St Peter’s, I was a member of the social justice team, facilitating reflection and leadership days. I also served as the Social and Publicity Captain
​
I have been a member of the Central Coast Y4Y Action Team. In my role, I gave feedback to the Youth Services Team and help develop projects that have been developed from the ideas of the Y4Y.
​
I also served on the NSW Youth Advisory Council. In this role, I gave feedback on behalf of young people to the Minister for Families, Communities & Disability Services, and the Advocate for Children and Young People.
​
In 2022, was the Leader of the Opposition in the Upper House in the Y NSW Youth Parliament. In this position, I advocated for young people all over the state, and was instrumental in drafting a report to the NSW Youth Legislative Council on education resource allocation.
​
My experience and mentorship guide me to push for a better tomorrow where students feel validated and included. That's why UrVoice Australia is here today.
