Start a conversation with the young person in your life

This guide was developed by trauma counsellor and Collective Shout campaigner Renee Chopping to equip parents and carers like you to lead where it matters most — at home.

Because when it comes to the culture shaping our teens, silence is not safety.
You don’t need to have all the answers — you just need to be there.

This guide will help you:

• Open up honest, non-judgemental conversations at home
• Use simple prompts to discuss online bullying, mental health, sexual harassment + more
• Understand key facts that inform and empower
• Know where to turn if you or your teen need additional support

Fill in your email below and we will send the guide straight to your inbox.

School holidays are here and there's no better time to review the safeguards you have in place to protect your children from online predators and sexploitation. Here, we give you some handy tips, resources and links to help keep your family safe these holidays.

Over the past few months, we’ve been busy preparing submissions into various Government inquiries. Just this month, two of our submissions have been made public- our submission into the Review of Australian classification regulation, and our submission on Online Safety Legislation reform.

The Child Rescue Coalition has warned parents about the risks of posting intimate photos of their children, as well as using certain hashtags that can be accessed and misused by predators. It is a reminder to parents to take great care when posting images of their children on social media, to consider their privacy settings and possible risks to their children.
