Redlands Youth Connect Card is a pocket-sized, foldable resource created as part of the Redlands Youth Project to provide young people with direct, immediate access to trusted support services and helpful information.

Each card is the size of a standard business card, cleverly designed with four fold-out panels. It covers key areas that matter most to youth. Whether you’re in crisis, feeling lost, or just want to explore opportunities, the RYC Card helps connect you to the right place, at the right time.

📌 What’s Included:

Each side of the card will spotlight a category with real, relevant services and numbers, such as:

• 🧠 Mental Health & Emotional Support (e.g., Headspace, Kids Helpline, 13YARN, Beyond Blue)

• 💬 Someone to Talk To Now (emergency hotlines, 24/7 chats, local walk-ins)

• 🛡️ Sexual Health & Safety (e.g., True Relationships & Reproductive Health, sexual violence support, LGBTQIA+ safe spaces)

• 📚 Learning, Jobs & Money Help (e.g., TAFE, Centrelink, local youth hubs, job readiness programs)

The goal is accessibility. Whether you're in school, at work, or out with friends, you can always carry support with you.

This card reflects our principles: Empowerment, Connection, and Support. It’s not about pushing info, it’s about putting resources directly in the hands of youth, in a form that actually works for them.
