New - Tricky Friends Video
'Tricky Friends' is a short animation to help people understand what good friendships are and when they may be harmful, and what they can do if they are worried.
The video aims to raise awareness of mate crime and exploitation and encourages people to talk to someone they can trust.
It is only 3 minutes long and can be used by anyone - carers, family members, professionals or with groups. It might help raise awareness, start conversations to keep people safe.
