Alithia Inc. is a Public Benevolent Institute, a community-run charity, with DGR status. Alithia provides solutions for children in need of an innovative and therapeutic environment.

Alithia:

Operates two holistic learning hubs catering for families in the Nambucca, Bellingen and Coffs Shires (Alithia Junior for 2-5 year olds and The Alithia Learning Hub for 6-12 years, with Youth Leadership Programs for older kids).
Provides free training for parents and teachers across the region, as well as online resources.
Includes a free Online Hub for world-wide families to build connections while accessing mentors and innovative workshops.
Partners with other organisations to support the wider community, such as assisting teens with work experience, and employing people with disabilities.

The Alithia Learning Hub aims to build a love of learning, a sense of capability and positive connections through a variety of hands-on activities and workshops including collaborative innovation, emotional resilience, creative thinking and academics.

Given the problems that arise in rural low-socio economic areas, Alithia's core focus is to ensure the mental health and well-being of young children, preventing them from becoming youths at risk and ensuring they become meaningful and contributing members within society.

Alithia meets the needs of children requiring social and emotional support, those that are neuro-diverse (Autistic Spectrum, ADHD, Aspergus), those from minority groups (including Australia's indigenous), those experiencing learning difficulties and hardships, and those considered to be in need of a nurturing, creative environment and opportunities.

A unique difference:

At the core, Alithia is a set of positive communication tools. These techniques create a trusting space where people feel accepted and supported. Within this non-judgemental environment, participants can build a sense of purpose and capability, while being supported on their own unique learning journey. Every individual has a unique way of learning and of approaching the world. Our learning space is flexible and adaptive to empower children from a young age.
