Wellbeing & Online Safety

Your wellbeing matters, both online and offline. Knowing where to get help and how to stay safe can make all the difference.

Stay Safe Online

The internet is a great place to connect, learn, and have fun—but it’s important to stay safe while you’re there. Here are some key tips:

Think carefully before you share – once something is online, it’s hard to remove.
Keep your information private – protect details like your full name, address, and passwords.
Be respectful – treat others online the way you’d like to be treated.
Trust your instincts – if something doesn’t feel right, tell someone.
