Nurse Janice
I hope you are managing to balance keeping yourselves informed but not overwhelmed by the daily news cycle in these difficult times . This is also important for our students, even the younger ones can become distressed by what they see on TV. I highly recommend taking a full day off from the news and social media at least once a week.
The added stress of lockdown and remote learning is difficult for all so please take care of each other and try to do at least 1 stress free activity each day.
I have included information about a free parent and carer webinar being run by Headspace to assist parents and carers to support young people. Also please feel free to contact me, or encourage your student to, if I can help regards wellbeing.
I am available most days via email Janice.Deocampo@education.vic.gov.au or on my work phone 0417329774. Please leave a message and I will be in touch as soon as I can.
