Gold Coast program uses meditation and ice baths to tackle youth crime, help teens get back on track
A group of teenage boys sit around a room, guided through a breathwork and mediation session, followed by an ice bath plunge.
It's not a fancy wellness retreat, rather, a not-for-profit charity built to help disengaged youths get back on track.
Steve*, 19, is part of the cohort, currently halfway through a 10-week program.
He said he grew up in care, but by the time he reached his teenage years, he fell into the wrong crowds, doing the wrong things.
"I know to leave that life behind, there's nothing there," he said.
