Today is Safer Internet Day, a global day of action that raises awareness about online safety and encourages safer digital experiences for everyone.

Sadistic Online Exploitation (SOE) is a serious form of online abuse where someone deliberately manipulates, humiliates or coerces others for their own gratification or status.

SOE can start with someone pretending to be a friend or love interest, then slowly applying pressure or threats. It can involve sharing explicit content, encouraging self-harm, threats, or humiliation.

If you are concerned that a young person you know is being targeted for SOE it is important to take action.

You can report SOE to the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation or to your local state/territory police: https://www.accce.gov.au/report

You can learn more about how to navigate SOE here: https://headspace.org.au/explore-topics/supporting-a-young-person/sadistic-online-exploitation-supporting-a-young-person/

We had such a fun day hanging out at the Batemans Bay Skate Jam! 🛹

We chatted with young people about what they make space for, handed out some merch, and played a bit of handball. 🌞

Thank you to Eurobodalla Shire Council for having us! 💚

Is your young person about to start high school? 🎒

The transition to secondary school is a big milestone. It's exciting, but it can also bring up some nerves and uncertainty, both for the young person and for you.

You might be wondering how to best support them through this change. Whether it's managing social interactions and new friendships, higher academic expectations, or simply adjusting to a different environment, there are practical ways you can help them feel more prepared and confident. 💚
