Meet the Team Behind Healthy Teens

Healthy Teens is led by a team of educators, youth specialists and wellbeing practitioners who are deeply experienced in working with young people across schools, communities and sport. Our collective mission is simple: to help teens grow stronger emotionally, socially and relationally — with practical skills they can use every day.

Our team believes that young people are capable of positive change when they are:

✔ heard, not lectured
✔ respected, not judged
✔ given tools, not just advice
✔ supported in ways that feel relevant to their lives

We walk alongside schools as partners — not vendors — understanding wellbeing goals, behaviour patterns and the unique culture of your community.

Paapa Kweku

Head Coach

Paapa is a respected youth wellbeing practitioner, keynote speaker and personal trainer who combines real-world experience with deep expertise in adolescent development.

He has worked with students across Victoria in schools, sports academies and community settings, supporting them to:

  • strengthen emotional regulation
  • communicate respectfully
  • build healthier relationships
  • understand identity and self-worth
  • make confident, responsible choices

Paapa’s approach is grounded in empathy, relevance and real conversation — not slogans, not lectures.

Our team believes that young people are capable of positive change when they are:

✔ heard, not lectured
✔ respected, not judged
✔ given tools, not just advice
✔ supported in ways that feel relevant to their lives

We partner with schools rather than simply delivering programs, aligning our work with your wellbeing goals, student needs and broader school culture.


Why Our Team Connects With Students

Students tell us they respond to:

  • real language, not scripts

  • understanding, not preaching

  • practical examples, not theory

  • relevance, not lectures

This matters. Schools consistently report:

“Students were fully engaged and showed real understanding.”
“We saw changed behaviour, not just polite listening.”
“Staff noticed a difference in interaction and communication the very next week.”

My journey in my youth I was very active. I played soccer, won a sports scholarship, and even held the state long jump record. But it wasn’t always this way. Believe it or not, I was a skinny little boy. I was also curious and booksmart (my nickname was the “professor”) and I was always looking at ways to be better. But what really set me apart is that my parents always encouraged me to channel my energy, keep moving and never give up. This set me up for life. Fast forward a few years, I went on to win a natural body building title, gain my Masters in Human Resources and launch my health and wellness company in 2011. I am a living example of how a positive mindset can turn your life around.
