Cyberbullying is a significant new issue facing young people, that's incredibly hard to escape and which has a debilitating impact on their wellbeing. We're proud to be partnering with the Mental Health Professionals Network to deliver an online seminar next month, delivering practical advice on how to help young people being cyberbullied.
It's also been a busy month - with a lot of new online tools for young people! Over at Inspire, 2 years of work culminated in a significant refresh of the ReachOut.com online youth mental health service. Meanwhile, the government launched their new online mental health portal Mind Health Connect, and BlackDog's MyCompass mood tracking program got a great update.
Find out about these and other tools for helping young people via the quick snapshots below!
