Your child’s mental health is as important as their physical health.
Schools strive to be safe, supportive and inclusive communities. They provide programs and opportunities to improve a student’s sense of belonging and their skills in understanding themselves and others, managing relationships and problem-solving.
Every school has access to a school psychologist who is uniquely placed to support student wellbeing for learning.
Many schools have whole-school strategies in place. They also identify and support students who may be experiencing mental or emotional challenges. School staff may request assistance from their school psychologist, access other in-school support or refer to another community agency. School staff consult with parents before they make requests and referrals.
Our staff will contact you if there are concerns about your child’s mental health and wellbeing. You can also talk to your child’s teacher or principal if you feel your child may need help.
