ThinkUKnow presentation
PVNPS will be hosting a ThinkUKnow presentation on Monday 23 June and all parents, carers and teachers are encouraged to attend.
ThinkUKnow Australia is an evidence based education program delivered nationally to prevent online child sexual exploitation.
ThinkUKnow Australia is a partnership between the Australian Federal Police, Microsoft Australia, Datacom and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. The program is delivered in collaboration with policing partners New South Wales Police Force, Northern Territory Police, Queensland Police, South Australia Police, Tasmania Police, Western Australia Police, as well as Neighbourhood Watch Australasia.
The presentation will be delivered by a local law enforcement member and an industry volunteer. The presentation is pro-technology and addresses topics including self-generated child abuse material, online grooming, sexual extortion, and importantly encourages help seeking behaviour.
This is a fantastic opportunity for you to learn more about young people and the online environment, and how you can help them to be safe and responsible users of technology.

ONE STEP AT A TIMEPROGRAM: PARENT SUPPORTFOR CHILDHOOD ANXIETY
How can I contact Kids Helpline?
Kids Helpline is Australia's only free, private, and confidential 24/7 phone and online counselling service for young people aged 5 to 25. Counselling is currently offered by phone and Webchat, but we’re constantly expanding into new ways of supporting you, such as the My Circle peer support groups.
How can counselling/Kids Helpline help me?
Counselling at Kids Helpline can help in lots of different ways. If you have a problem you haven’t been able to talk safely or openly about, a counsellor will listen to you and respect what you have to say. If you’re confused about the way you’re feeling or thinking, talking to a counsellor can help you understand what you’re going through. If you have a difficult decision you’re trying to make, talking to a counsellor can help you understand your options or clarify what you might like to do. If you’re struggling with difficult thoughts or feelings, talking to a counsellor might help you develop some ways of handling these in a more helpful way.
We understand that no two people are the same, and what works for one person might not work for you. We respect that everybody is unique and we’ll help you to figure out what will help you best in your situation with your specific needs
