Being Your Best You

The Being Your Best You project aims to understand what is helpful in building the mental health, wellbeing and resilience of young people.

We asked a group of young people, aged 8-16 years, from the Eastern Region of Melbourne, what they wish adults understood about what growing up is like for them. What they told us was pretty interesting.

The videos below provide a candid snapshot on how young people experience things like social media, technology and bullying, and what actions adults can take to support and empower young people who are experiencing mental health challenges.

Thanks to the young people, along with their parents and guardians for being involved in this project.

How can we be the best versions of ourselves in the digital world?

What do you wish your parents knew about growing up?

What are your experiences seeking help and support in schools and in the health space?
