This is a link to a new app named iBobbly, created to help reduce the rate of suicide in remote Aboriginal Communities. The use of mobile phones and tablets in some remote communities was seen as a great avenue in connecting with vulnerable people and offering support using the new age of social media. An interesting example of how social media has been used within a Remote community setting to connect with and develop strategies for communication.
