eLearning

There is a connection between exposure to traumatic events and mental health issues, and it is important to be ready to support children and young people who may be struggling.  The eSafety Commissioner has released support resources for children, young people and their families on how to deal with violent or distressing content when viewed online. Families may want to take further precautions to ensure that access to disturbing online content is limited, and resources for children and young people are available. Additional resources to support children and young people in dealing with tragic and distressing events can be found through the Be You fact sheets on grief, trauma and critical incidents.
