Mental health and support services for children - also support services for them for parent/S living with a chronic or terminal illness.

Secure housing, day&after schoolcare managed by (their) parents in turn, paid compensation? Teenage guidance & games.

We are in desperate need for a decent play area for the little ones. I have 7 grand children and I take them out of the area to parks etc.

1. If they have an idea how to make things better, let THEM organise it & give them a budget. 2. Take this question to brainstorm in schools

Give them a sense of meaning and they'll flourish,but don't nurture them and they'll become like a weed !!

As teens we had AFFORDABLE "youth groups" for social activities, that is missing now or just simply not affordable.

More activities that are government funded or an affordable price. As a low income family we could never afford social activities for them.

more regular bus transport to major towns like Forster Newcastle Taree very hard almost impossible to get to Forster by bus before 9am week

Plan more cycle ways around our areas to provide safe places for families to encourage more outdoor activity & showcase our rivers, etc

Support Groups / Social Groups

Empowerment. Let’s give this next generation the power to succeed. The pandemic has destroyed their confidence. Isolation took from them.

More mentoring programs in schools to help at risk children especially from difficult situations such as DV/homelessness/mental health etc
