Manage episode 409837530 series 1230931
Every young person needs to have a close, significant adult to talk to when they experience challenges in life. Sadly, new research has revealed that far too many adolescents do not feel listened to and aren’t speaking to anyone when they’re worried.

- Speaking to a professional
- Act for Kids Campaign "Get Comfy Switching ON by Switching OFF" - all the research stats, tip sheets and an animation
- Incidental conversation or "small talk"
- Being present
- Connection
- Pressures of school, friendships, social media
