Support over the Holidays

The holidays are a great chance for students rest, catch up with friends, go new places and try different things. However, young people may find it difficult to navigate ups and down outside of the structure of school.

Support is available to students through:

•  Kids Helpline (24 hours) 
  • Call 1800 55 1800 or webchat at kidshelpline.com.au
• Headspace (9am-1pm) 
  • 1800 650 890 or visit headspace.org.au/eheadspace/connect-with-a-clinician/
• Yarra Youth Services
  • visit www.yarracity.vic.gov.au/services/young-people or @yarrayouthservices on Instagram for information about support available and fun holiday activities!

Parents and carers can seek support from:

•  Parentline (8am – midnight) 
• Call 13 22 89  https://services.dffh.vic.gov.au/parentline

Links to a range of parent supports and information are available through the Department of Education Mental Health Toolkit: https://www.vic.gov.au/support-if-youre-concerned-about-your-childs-mental-health

We look forward to seeing you back for Term 3!
