Mental Health in Primary Schools (MHiPS)

Dear Parents and Carers,

Below is a link to Rural Health Connect. 

Rural Health Connect is an online platform that links people to psychologists over video calls and phone calls. We originated in Central QLD in response to a clear need for better access to psychologists in rural areas and have now expanded across rural Australia. Rural Australians deal with drought, bushfire, floods and isolation on top of all of life’s other pressures yet access psychologists at less than a fifth of the rate of people in cities. The lack of professionals in rural areas, long drives to appointments, lack of privacy in small towns and stigma are all deterrents to seeking help. We want everyone, regardless of where they live or their life circumstances, to be able to access the psychologist that is right for them. And to be able to conduct their sessions without disrupting their daily lives.

ANTI BULLYING IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS

This week we have been educating the students about bullying.  We are helping them understand what it is and what to do about it.  The students from year two to year six have watched this video lesson from Kids Help Line.
