Tools For Life

Tools have been used to solve issues for centuries. We use them to fix and improve houses, cars, computers, and more. Yet, life isn't physical like a house or car, so a hammer or saw won't solve problems in life. So what do we use? Those tools come in the form of resources. The counseling website KidsHelpline has a wide variety of resources and activities for anyone aged 5-25. The site also includes forms of counseling for those aged 5-25 like discussing mental health breaks, reading challenges, and sharing stories. There is even a post talking about how returning to normal life might not be so easy for everyone.

KidsHelpline

The KidsHelpline website is a resource library for youth and young adults, ages 5-25. The site includes many tips, activities, resources, and tools on important parts of life. Scroll and discover the websites under your age, and find sections on self-care, mental health, family, physical health, and more. There is even a section of life resources for parents. Please know that the website is a 24/7 helpline for residents in Australia, but all other resources are general information. 



Announcement...

The SPAN Youth Chat will return on September 1st. All youth and young adults (past or present attendees) will receive an email with a poll. This poll will collect information on preferred times to host the youth chats for the upcoming Fall season. Thank you for your continuous support.
