“Hope and joy” is something we often talk about at Christmas – but it’s not something that always comes easily.
When hope and joy seem like distant dreams, Kids Helpline becomes a critical safety-net for young people.
And it’s thanks to our Art Union supporters that we can continue to answer those calls for help.
To show our thanks, we wanted to give something back to you and your family this Christmas.
Working with our Kids Helpline team, we have developed these Kids Helpline counsellor-approved resources to share the joy and hope you’ve given to young people.
Based on Kids Helpline’s popular Mood Critters - a suite of animals designed by counsellors to help children learn, identify and understand their own emotions, these exclusive resources are not only entertaining – they're great tools for developing emotional intelligence in children.
As a special Christmas surprise, our Kids Helpline counsellors have developed two new Aussie Critters to celebrate – Hope the Quokka and Joy the Numbat – in recognition of the hope and joy your generous support creates.
We want to hear all about your hopes for young people this Christmas – and then we want to share those messages far and wide!
Use the form below and keep watching for something special that will be coming closer to Christmas.
"My hope is that young people find joy, love, and support"
