Caboolture is set to benefit from the Regional Reset program, a new intensive early intervention initiative aimed at helping young people aged 8 to 17 who are showing signs of disengagement or antisocial behaviour.

The program, delivered by Youth Insearch, offers support through residential short‑stays, community‑based peer support and family engagement sessions in Caboolture and Deception Bay.
The Regional Reset program will provide more than four months of intensive support for participants, including three short‑stay “resets” at the residential facility at PCYC Bornhoffen, where they will receive round‑the‑clock supervision. During these stays, participants will engage in activities designed to develop emotional, social and physical wellbeing — including cultural mentoring, educational workshops, life and employment skills sessions, and adventure‑based outdoor programs.
Beyond the residential component, the programme also offers a range of peer support groups and family engagement sessions at the local PCYC branches in Caboolture and Deception Bay. These sessions aim to help young people reconnect with education, build community ties and involve families as part of the support framework.
Youth Insearch Chief Executive Officer Stephen Lewin said: “Our peer‑led programme provides structured, tailored supports to help a young person repair relationships, rebuild trust and strengthen connections to school, community and culture while reducing offending behaviour.”
He added: “We know that young people with lived experience are most effective in supporting their peers to overcome life challenges, instil hope and build connections and social networks within the community.”
The programme is one of nine Regional Reset sites across Queensland, backed by a multimillion‑dollar investment in early intervention and rehabilitation initiatives for young people who are at risk of entering more serious cycles of offending.
For families in Caboolture, the Regional Reset programme offers accessible, community‑based intervention where young people and their support networks can engage locally. The blend of residential stays, peer mentoring and family engagement aims to give participants practical tools and structured time away from harmful environments while reintegrating into their schools and communities.
