This year's toolkit provides information and resources for adults and young people about the issues of stress and loneliness, which may lead to symptoms of mental health conditions if not addressed early, or before Stage four.

The toolkit includes:

Fact sheets on stress and loneliness for parents and children/teens;
Sample social media post language, cover images, profile images, and shareable images;
Drop-In article for school newsletters;
Key messages;
Posters for use in schools and other places where children and teens spend time; and
Radio PSA Scripts.
