Next Wednesday Wrap! Helping your teen use social media safely!

Message contains a hyperlink

Hey folks!

 

We missed July because of the Parent Peer Supporter Training - so worth it!!

But now we are back to business as usual and have our next Wednesday Wrap planned for Wednesday the 16th of August!

Our very special guest is Lauren from Quiip -

Lauren has spent years working with Online Communities including The Line, ReachOut (Youth) and Play Safe in addition to beyondblue and SANE. She is an expert in using social media safely and the risks associated with each platform. Whether you have an early teen who is just starting their social media career or an older teen who has been using them like a pro for years, info on how to use them safely is never wasted.

Learn how to search hashtags to know if your teens' party is 'trending' and how to disable geo-locators so your immediate whereabouts stay secret.

 

Join us, next week, for an hour at 8 PM AEST on the 16th of August - right here!!

Hi guys, sorry it's been so quiet my end. I've been struck down with the dreaded flu but should be better by next Wednesday.
