We are so excited to announce that we've been successful in securing a Telstra Young & Connected Grant, under the mental health and wellbeing initiatives category! This will see our 'Niggle' app grow to incredible reach to support young people's mental health journey! 💜

We are confident that when a young person connects with us online they will be met with personalised and specific content to help them navigate a multitude of issues - from bullying to consent to mental illness. 👏

Last year, Kids Helpline, responded to 145,000 contacts from children and young people needing help. But devastatingly, many more contacts went unanswered, with your help this doesn't have to be the case.

We've all been there - you're having a discussion with someone and you find your opinions or views clash a little.

This doesn't always mean the convo has to shut down! Here are some phrases you could try to keep it going with empathy...

Aphantasia, aka 'image-free imagination', is more common than you might expect - affecting about 3% of the population. Some people with it can see images when they dream, while some can't! 💭

Why is early intervention in schools so important? Well, we believe connecting with students before they need us, helps them remember us when they do need us. Thanks to Bupa Australia for making this program possible. 💙

Thanks so much for visiting! Milton Dick 🎉☺

A big thank you to members of the Australian Parliament who spoke up recently in support of youth mental health. We commend your commitment to Australia’s children and young people and the services that support them. #auspol

Every 71 secs a young person reaches out to Kids Helpline. Just 1 in 3 can be answered. The pandemic + lockdowns may feel like a distant memory, but the need for support remains high and exceeds our capacity. It’s why Bert van Manen MP's motion is so important. We can’t do it alone.

When she's not being an absolute baddie on Outer Banks (anyone else obsessed?!) she's breaking down mental health stigma.
Safe to say, we're here for it! 🤗💜
