linktr.ee\/ballaratyouthservices<\/strong><\/a> is a central point for all youth services in Ballarat, and is easy to navigate while \u201cconstantly changing and evolving.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cIt will link kids to what all the services are providing in Ballarat, so they may go to the Linktr.ee looking for one thing and realise there\u2019s lots of other stuff they could be accessing that wasn\u2019t on their radar,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
From fitness tips to COVID-19 updates, there\u2019s clear information for people in all circumstances and from all walks of life.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got advice for accessing mental health services, free physical activities, links to all the virtual events and activities like Fully Sick Fest and Girl Space, Ballarat Community Health\u2019s Tight Arse Cookbook…<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will be updated on a regular basis, now and beyond,\u201d Ms Rickard said.<\/p>\n
During times of crisis, like the present, she said it is crucial for youth service providers to have a united front.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was important that we establish this meeting point, with the sectors, to regularly update each other. They\u2019re getting the whole picture of what\u2019s available.\u201d<\/p>\n
Twelve-year-old Manasseh Florentine is on the \u201cinclusive\u201d City of Ballarat Youth Council. As someone volunteering and sharing ideas to improve connectedness amongst young people, he hopes his peers will get online and make the most of the Linktr.ee.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a really good website for all youth to go to, especially in the current situation in our community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s important because some young people are not interested in watching or reading the news, but they can go to the site and access information, put to them in an easy way.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we go to this website, see all the new information and know what\u2019s going on, then we can stay all connected during this time in isolation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
