Set good goals, identify what you value.

Keep it simple.

Help young people tackle two important skills for mental health this month - problem solving and self-esteem. We're highlighting an iPhone app that helps young people set and track goals, and in the ReachOut.com forums we're challenging young people to identify the important values that make them proud of themselves. 

We're also proud to be a part of the launch of the Young and Well Cooperative Research Centre's new best practice guide for using technology to help young people. Get a free runthrough of the guide and how to put it into practice at the online launch webinar, coming up in a few weeks.

Goal Tapper is an iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad) app that allows users to set goals, break down activities and track their progress.

We asked young people and youth workers to try it out and share their advice for using it in your practice.
