Mental Health and Wellbeing News

Dear Parents and Carers,

Everyone has heard of Kids Helpline from the television or other means of advertising and probably associate it with children in crisis. It is in fact a very useful tool that all children can access via their website. I encourage you to have a look as they have some great information and tools in a range of topics to help children during their school years.

Not only do they provide free support and counselling for 5-25-year old’s they also have a social media platform called “My Circle” that is moderated by counsellors but connects children with other children to talk about different things. Its all about good mental health. They have heaps of self-help information, including mental health information, real life stories, videos, quizzes and fun stuff too.

There are sections for schools, parents, kids, teens and young adults with some great relevant information. The web address is https://kidshelpline.com.au/ . It is a great resource that can be used at home.

If you have any questions or queries or would like more information on any of the information provided please do not hesitate to contact me.
