The federal website dlyapodrostkov.rf (forteenagers.rf) is an online resource where teenagers, parents and teachers can find reliable help and support.
The navigator features organisations and programmes where support for teenagers can be found across the country, providing links to help sites and hotlines.
The platform also contains material and lists sites that cover topical issues such as bullying, parenting, peer relationships and digital safety. Information on the website will be updated regularly.
Teenagers in need of urgent help can contact the National Children’s Helpline via the website, or through the “It’s hard for teenagers” chatbot.
Teenagers also contributed to the development of the platform. More than 200 adolescents from the Inspirers programme and teachers from the Science and Education CSO collaborated on the project by writing texts and testing the website, as well as sharing observations and suggestions.
“We believe that the media can not only entertain, inform and educate but also inspire and support society. In all our projects, we try to integrate bespoke help tools for addressing key social issues for which there is real demand. We therefore decided to go further by creating a dedicated digital space where anyone in a difficult situation can not only receive help, but also support and inspiration for their future development”, said Svetlana Balanova, CEO of the National Media Group.
The project’s partners are: Dviezhenie Pervikh, the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs, Dobro.rf, the Inspirers, the Federal Teenagers’ Centre, the Alliance for the Protection of Children in the Digital Environment and the Presidential Grants Fund.
