Think back to when you were 16…
Can you remember a time when you really needed help? When you felt completely alone? When you were scared about a situation and didn’t know where to turn?
Hannah repeatedly attempted suicide after battling depression, an eating disorder and bullying. She attributes much of her recovery to the anonymous information and support she received from YouthNet’s ground-breaking website TheSite.org.
“I really believe that the support I had online is what helped me make the first steps, it built up my inner strength and helped to knock down the barriers I had put up. I still go back to TheSite.org whenever I’m having a bad patch, because I know I can rely on it. TheSite.org keeps me going.” Hannah, 17
A place to turn…
A young person visits TheSite.org every 20 seconds looking for help, information and advice from experts and peers on anything from self-harm to homework.
