Student Wellbeing

How can a child’s worry effect their Self-esteem & what can I do to help my child break that cycle?

 

Occasional worry is OK! However, if your child is consistently worrying and it becomes a habit, that is when it can become a concern and impact their overall wellbeing and self-esteem.

LET’S BREAK THE CYCLE! See below for examples of how to help your child turn their WORRY, into their WONDER.

City of Casey Youth Counselling and Support Service (YCaSS) 

The City of Casey Youth Counselling and Support Service (YCaSS) provides free and confidential counselling support for young people aged 10-25 with links to the City of Casey. 

 YCaSS is an accessible service as no Mental Health Care Plan or Medicare card is needed, so support can commence without delay. This support is provided face to face at one of our Youth Information Centres (Narre Warren, Cranbourne, Hampton Park) or through telehealth via phone or video call.

 

If a client engaged with a private psychologist reaches the end of their funded sessions, YCaSS can support the psychologist, the client and provide maintenance sessions until the client can re-access a mental health care plan. 

 

YCaSS provides the following supports:

  • Youth Counselling: Individual counselling for young people 13-25
  • Parent Support Sessions: Brief intervention for parents of children aged 10-25 on parenting strategies and psychoeducation for their children
  • Children’s Counselling: For young people aged 10-12, with parent or guardian involvement when needed to support the counselling process

For more information or to request a service: Call 9792 7279 to speak to an intake worker OR Text 0417 347 909 with your name and number
