Social distancing can be difficult, especially for those where home is not always the safest place.
If you are feeling this way as a young person, please know police and specialist support services are here for you.
There is nothing so awful that you can’t tell someone about it. 24/7 people are available to help.
If you are worried about someone else, checking in on them virtually is a good start as is getting additional information and advice from the support services below.
If you have serious concerns, contact Policelink on 131 444.
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, or a life-threatening situation, call Triple Zero (000).
