RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS 

Building Courage and Resilience in Children presented by author Karen Young

This year sees an exciting initiative from the Department of Education, recognising the increasing need to support Mental Health of students in school. Our focus moving forward will be to focus on anxiety, resilience building and cyber safe practices to support the mental health of our students. 

We endeavour to work with our whole community (students, staff and families) to raise awareness, build strategies and foster positive mental health. 

On Thursday 6th October, the City of Greater Geelong Regional Parenting Service are hosting this event, ‘Building Courage and Resilience in Children and Teens’. 

Hosted by Karen Young, founder of ‘Hey Sigmund’ and author of the Hey Warrior series. 

Anxiety is a very normal part of being human, but for as many as one in five children it can reach intrusive levels, interfering with family life, friendships and school performance.

Karen will explore:

A new empowering way to understand anxiety

What to do when anxiety hits

How to build courage and resilience

Why anxiety might look like anger or tantrums and what to do

How social media, friendships and the changes in the adolescent brain might contribute to anxiety and what to do.

This is a free event with tickets available via this Eventbrite link - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/380800192627
