Encourages kids to create lunch events with people they know (from school or people around them etc) so that no one ever needs to sit alone at lunch. Good concept for an app - theoretically though, it could be misused.
Sit With Us promotes inclusion in schools by connecting students through organised lunches. A great concept, however only works well if others in your school have and use the app. There is an opportunity to become an ambassador and promote this app in your school community.

Offers a wide range of information on sexuality, identity, safe practices and problems. An excellent information resource.
My Sex Doctor aims to provide young adults with information about a range of sexual educational topics including puberty, relationships, sex and sexual health. This information is presented in a Q&A format with the content written in a sensitive way. The downside to this app is that it's American based and some of the terminology or practices mentioned are not relevant here in Australia.

Calm harm uses the principles of “urge surfing” and “behavioural activation” to target individuals who have the urge to self-harm. Whilst these principles are appropriate for this population, they may require more active involvement to be satisfactorily implemented with this, a low help-seeking group.
The app has a great idea in attempting to prompt users to participate in distracting activities while they ride out the urge to self harm. The app is quite passive, however, in that it expects users to complete each activity completely on their own. Some activities could easily be facilitated by the app but not so easily by a user. One, for example, involves rolling a dice. Whilst the app could easily incorporate a function to roll a dice, a user is very unlikely to have a dice on hand. In this way, I believe the app places a little too much onus on the user and does not deliver as much functionality as it could. That said, it functions well and is a great idea.

Lots of information on this, not sure if it would be overwhelming to the average user or more of a resource that people would use to learn more as oppose to using for help.
Cracks in the Ice has a wealth of trusted and evidence-based information on Ice for a number of different community members. While scoring low on engagement, the app has done well to present this information in a clear and concise way.
