Yarn Up
Yarn up is a safe space for First Nations young people to connect with community, hear from others, and access wellbeing resources and support. It has been co-designed with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff and young First Nations people, and includes:
– videos about social and emotional wellbeing and community connection
– strategies for self-care when people are feeling not good
– cartoons for younger kids.
Many of these resources are also included individually within the Manual of Resources.
