PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT 

Recently, I’ve been sent on a two-day Professional Development called, “Mental Health First Aid for Students.” The course is run by Mental Health First Aid Australia. 

The course details mental health conditions experienced by students and families. It recommended steps to take for carers, parents and teachers to find out more information. It also supplies an excellent reference book that details the ways to respond to your child or any member of your family if you suspect an emerging  mental health issue. Please feel free to chat to me if you would like more information.
