You don't have to face cancer alone.

There's no pressure to talk. You can simply come along, listen and enjoy some company.

Early Intervention Tree Program
Helping young people understand that it's okay to ask for help.
Blue MOTO's Early Intervention Tree Program focuses on supporting the mental health and wellbeing of young people through schools.
The program encourages children to recognise their feelings, understand the importance of talking about their worries and know that asking for help is a sign of strength.
By starting these conversations early, we hope to help young people develop the confidence to speak up when something isn't right.
Our aim is simple: to help create a future where young people feel comfortable talking about their mental health and know they're not alone.
The Accidental Counsellor — Supporting Junior Sport
You don't have to be a counsellor to make a difference.
Sometimes a young player, parent or teammate opens up about something they're struggling with. Coaches and volunteers can find themselves having conversations they never expected.
Blue MOTO's Accidental Counsellor program provides practical resources to help coaches, trainers and sporting club volunteers recognise when someone may be struggling, listen without judgement and understand when to seek professional support.
The package includes a pocket guide for coaches and trainers, along with mental health awareness posters for club change rooms.
Our aim is to help create sporting environments where young people feel safe, supported and comfortable asking for help.
Cost: Free to sporting clubs with junior teams.
Ride Blue — Annual Mental Health Awareness Ride
More than just a motorcycle ride.
Ride Blue is Blue MOTO's annual motorcycle event, bringing riders and the wider community together to raise awareness of mental health and the importance of looking out for one another.
Every year, hundreds of riders come together for a day of motorcycles, friendship and community spirit, all supporting a cause that affects so many people and families.
Ride Blue is about breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health, encouraging conversations and reminding people that nobody should have to face life's challenges alone.
It's also an important fundraising event, helping Blue MOTO continue its community wellbeing and early intervention programs.
Our message is simple: You don't have to ride alone, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone.
