Late last year, self-harm and suicidal ideation were up 31 per cent for children and teenagers compared with 2020, according to NSW Government's Health report. Following the screening a panel of young people, clinicians and StreetWork’s Youth Case Workers will discuss how we can address this statistic and work collectively to make positive changes to improve the mental health of our young people. You will also have a chance ask questions of the panel
Please note that this film and the panel discussion will discuss sensitive themes around mental health.
