#38 - Turning Care Into Meaningful Action with Deana Gill

What helps a young person believe in their future? Sometimes it starts with a coach, a ceremony, or one trusted relationship.

In this episode, Deana Gill shares how sport, culture, and mentorship are creating real change for Indigenous youth and communities. From her early days in child protection to leading Hope and Health, she reflects on what she’s learned about showing up with humility, building trust, and creating spaces where young people feel they belong.

This conversation moves beyond big ideas about reconciliation and into what it looks like in action — relationships, cultural safety, and giving youth the support to dream bigger for themselves.

A listen for anyone who cares about youth, community, and the kind of allyship that is built over time.
