Communication

Effective communication benefits everyone, but it’s especially important when thinking about mental health and wellbeing.

This has benefits for everyone. Here are just a few.

A better understanding of what’s happening at home: If there’s an issue, you’re well placed to learn how it might affect the child or young person, how the young person or family would like you to manage the issue, or what supports might be helpful and appropriate.
Families understand the learning environment: Families are better able to understand the child or young person’s strengths and can work with you to address any challenges.
