Signs ...that our youth are struggling are often subtle or different to that of adults, and sometimes it's difficult to know how to start a conversation with a young person we are worried about. In this webinar, experts will be discussing how to open the lines of communication; identifying concerning signs to look out for; and when is it an appropriate time to seek professional help. Date: Thursday 10 September 2020 Time: 7:00pm- 8:00pm AEST Venue: Online Register: Eventbrite (link below) Cost: FREE https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/saving-our-kids-preventing-

07.01.2022 5 TIPS FOR STAYING SANE (When the world around us seems to be going insane) 1. Reassure your children that it will be OK, because it will be. We have been through much worse.... 2. Where possible stick to your routines. Where this is not possible consciously create new routines and celebrate these. Let people know about your new routines in a positive and proactive way. 3. If you are feeling stressed remember this is simply your body and mind asking you to pay attention you have a choice about how you respond you can buy more toilet paper or you can go for a walk, talk to a friend, ring a helpline etc. 4. Be seen buying just what you need jampacked trollies will act as triggers be a role model. 5. Actively seek to be the water and not the fuel on the fire of this international crisis we face.
