Adam Drake founded the Balanced Choice Program, a values-driven initiative that combines theatre, fitness and personal development to inspire positive change.
Adam created the first Balanced Choice Program at a Darwin detention centre in 2014 to empower young people to feel strong on the outside while finding healing and hope on the inside. The program has since expanded nationwide to school groups, remote communities, government departments, corporates, and sporting organisations, while continuing to work with prisoners.
In Tennant Creek, Adam partners with a local community organisation through the Indigenous Skills and Employment Program to help people connect with their values and wellbeing before stepping into employment and works with educators nationwide to guide people towards values-led choices and purposeful futures.
He runs justice sector leadership programs and workshops and has collaborated with Father Greg Boyle and Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, the world’s largest gang-intervention program, to deliver prison and corporate workshops.
