GOM Central

Elm Place

2018

GOM Central is a resource for young South Australians who have been in what's called Out of Home care.

While there were already some services available - counselling, advocacy etc - through Relationships Austalia South Australia's Post Care Services, young people wanted something more, something that was "multimedia and online focussed."

At GOM Central there are podcasts and videos, budgeting tools and links to useful services.

The decision to call the site "GOM" (Guardian of the Minister) Central results from many of these young people having been called "GOM kids" in negative way. Therefore, for this project they're pushing back against stigma and negative stereotypes and embracing the name.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group.
