Health and Wellbeing

From the Counselling Team

The physical impact of the pandemic has mostly spared our young people; however, as the nation remains on alert and in various stages of lockdown, restrictions continue to be mandated. Today's conditions challenge our ever-resilient students in many unique ways.

But as hard as it is being a young person today, it is also not an easy time for parents. Many find it very difficult to juggle parenting responsibilities along with providing the much needed emotional support for their children, particularly in these difficult times. 

We hope you will find the advice offered in the attached report to be of help. The report explains the current state of youth mental health in a post-COVID era and offers guidance on how best to support young people today. As always, our counselling team is available if this report raises any concerns for you.
