Future Reset was VicHealth’s latest partnership with the arts sector aimed at moving the dial on young people’s collective health and wellbeing. Together, we enhanced mental wellbeing and social connection through art, creativity and culture, with young people leading the charge. Because when art and young people came together, something amazing happened – a future with unimaginable potential!

We understood that the pandemic had brought into clearer view widening global inequalities rooted in intersecting structures of race, class, gender, heteronormativity, and ableism. The burden of these inequalities was reflected in various social, health and economic outcomes, as well as people’s sense of belonging, safety, and (in)security in institutions and everyday contexts.

We developed the Future Reset program in response to these challenges. It formed part of a growing body of public health initiatives around the world that sought to increase social connectedness and wellbeing more broadly through community-based art projects.

Together, our nine arts organisations worked to create a collection of youth-led art projects over two years, across Victoria. Each organisation received its own investment, hiring a young creative leader to champion their work. Future Reset gave young people a voice to create their own artistic vision – supporting mental wellbeing in the process – for their communities and with their communities.
