mental health week 2011

The Create a Better Story campaign encourages young people to share their story, to seek help early, and get their lives back on track.

Mental health is the number one health issue affecting young people in Australia. However, only one in four young people who experience mental health problems seek help. By sharing and listening to stories we can help other young people who may be going through a similar experience.

Young people's stories

Members of our hY NRG (headspace Youth National Reference Group) worked with our partners Yahoo!7 to create their personal experiences to share. Check out their stories by clicking the pictures below.
