Wellbeing

Dear Parents/Carers,

We've done it! We have arrived at the end of another challenging year. I’m sure that many, it not all of us, are looking forward to the opportunity to take a break, to enjoy time with family and to find time to focus on what supports our own wellbeing.

As always, the holidays can be a particularly difficult time for some of our more vulnerable young people and their families. It is important that we continue to support each other as a community, looking out for the mental health and wellbeing of not only ourselves, but of those arounds us.

The attached flyer from Headspace highlights some strategies to support your young person during the holidays. This flyer also includes the contact details of a number of mental health services that can be accessed at any time. If you or someone you know of is in need of support, I encourage you to please make use of these valuable services. 

Otherwise, if you or your young person are already linked in with external supports, such as a GP or Mental Health Clinician, please also consider seeking their advice and support as required over the holidays.

The Wellbeing Team and I wish you all a restful holiday break and happy new year!

Yours sincerely,

Jake and the Wellbeing Team
