Youth Mental Health package: Online

The internet is a second home for today’s young people and many of them use Facebook, Twitter and Smartphones to look for information or help. We need to lift our game and modernise our approach if we are to reach the young people who need our help. We will overhaul mental health resources to ensure they are youth friendly and technologically up to date. We are investing $2.7 million in E-therapy for young people. We’re also launching a Social Media Innovations Fund to support providers of youth services to better use social media technology, including smart phone apps and Facebook-related programmes.
