Kids Helpline has just launched a new mobile app for teenagers and young people with mental health issues.

Called ‘niggle by Kids Helpline’, the new app aims to help young people identify any mental health concern or ‘niggle’. It has been designed to be used in conjunction with Kids Helpline’s existing services or as a stand-alone option for those people who may not have been willing or able to access help through traditional methods.

The app provides, for free, hundreds of built-in resource and guided strategies that are all evidence-based.
