social media ban - resources for schools

Australia's under 16 social media ban starts from 10 December

Now's a great time to help students prepare for what may be an emotional transition.

To help you do just that, we've created and collated our top resources here for you!

And remember - Kids Helpline is available, anytime and for any reason, to support young people.
