Leavers is here and as 9000 graduates descend on the South West, we at Red Frogs Australia, want to share four tips and tricks to help you stay safe throughout the week.
1. Ask for help!: There are so many support services there to help if you're in trouble, or even if you just want to hang out. They won’t find you annoying by asking for help, that's literally what these services are down there for.
Some numbers to remember (all 24hour services)
- Emergencies - 000
- Red Frogs hotline number - 1300 557 123
- Police attendance - 131 444
- Kids Helpline - 1800 551 800
2. Make a buddy system: A buddy system is a great way to ensure you’re never left behind and neither are your friends. Make sure at least one of your mates has a phone (charged) or power bank as a backup.
3. Don't leave drinks unattended: Leaving open drinks around is a sure-fire way to land yourself in a bit of trouble. Stats show women are targeted 80% times more than men when it comes to drink spiking, so ladies, be careful! Leaving around an open drink makes you vulnerable. You never know what other people's plans are for your night, even if you don't want that yourself.
4. Take stock of your mental health: Leavers is an intense week with high emotions and a lot of people seeking to let loose. If you are feeling down, please know that it is normal, and there is help for you. You don’t need to feel sucky alone.
