In this episode of Afternoon Tea, we explore identity, belonging, and the pressures that shape confidence and decision-making in young people. With our two hosts/baristas, Lisa and Bella, we spill the tea with our guest, Tyrrel Clara, Co-Founder of Everyone’s Gang. Together, we unpack the realities behind serious violence and exploitation, and how trauma, fear, anxiety, and unmet mental health needs can increase vulnerability to harm.

Through a powerful and honest conversation, we reflect on the influence of environment, and the deep human need to belong. Hearing lived perspectives, we explore how young people can be drawn into unsafe situations, often without recognising the risks, and what supportive adults can do to better listen, understand, and guide them.
