Where 17-year-old Cody ends up sleeping every night depends on when and where he lands in the late afternoon.

"If I end up in Wyong, I go to my uncle's. If I am in Narara, I go to my pop's; Erina, mum's," said Cody after eating a few serves of bacon and eggs at an Aboriginal Family Wellbeing program for young men aged 14 to 18 in Wyoming on the Central Coast.

The program is designed to keep boys in school, out of jail, off drugs and alcohol, improve their mental health and develop their Indigenous identity and culture.

"Without the program, male youth on the Central Coast would fall apart," said Anthony Freeman who is one of 200 men to complete the program.
