The Big Red Book is the first handbook and directory for people who work with young people in the ACT.
It has been designed for use by a range of professionals who may have contact with young people including youth workers, general practitioners and teachers. In addition to providing service profiles, this handbook also provides strategy-based information for workers, key service contacts and other helpful resources.
The services in this handbook were actively involved in its development and young people’s voices are reflected throughout it.
If you have any questions, comments or updates, please email Kat Szukalska, Policy and Development Officer, at kat@youthcoalition.net. Please note that all updates, changes and comments to the Big Red Book need to be submitted by December 2009 to be included in the next update of the Big Red Book.
