McKillop Institute/Hume City Council Workshops

Dear College Community,

I’m writing to let you know that MacKillop Family Services and The MacKillop Institute are partnering with Hume City Council until December 2021, to support the community through the ongoing impacts and evolving needs of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Data suggests that during the COVID-19 Victorian school closures, we have seen impaired learning, increased child stress, loneliness and declining mental health, including anxiety and depression.

Workshops are 1.5 hours and will focus on:

• The impact of toxic stress and adversity.
• The manifestation of complex trauma for children and its impacts on learning and wellbeing.
• Providing strategies for parents to reduce long term impacts.

For information on how to join the forum please see the attached flyer.

Many thanks and kind regards,

Mallissa Allen – School Nurse
