From 12noon, Tuesday 17 September until 6pm, Saturday 26 October Council enters into an Election ‘Caretaker’ Period. This is in place to avoid actions and decisions that may be interpreted as influencing voters or binding an incoming Council. There will be limited updates on our digital channels during this time.
The Being Your Best You project aims to understand what is helpful in building the mental health, wellbeing and resilience of young people.
We asked a group of young people, aged 8-16 years, from the Eastern Region of Melbourne, what they wish adults understood about what growing up is like for them. What they told us was pretty interesting.
The videos below provide a candid snapshot on how young people experience things like social media, technology and bullying, and what actions adults can take to support and empower young people who are experiencing mental health challenges.
Thanks to the young people, along with their parents and guardians for being involved in this project.
If you need help empowering young people to be their best selves, ConnectUs helps you to search for services available in Melbourne's East.
