23.01.2022 The simple things can be the most relaxing - something we probably all need now. Weve all got some extra time right now - grab it with both hands, and use it to connect with your children. Read them a story - theyll love it!!

23.01.2022 Its Saturday at the beginning of a long weekend. Heres some ideas for things you can do as a family - just make sure youre following the current guidelines for social distancing, and stay safe. <3 :) https://www.kidspot.com.au//c266849ec49169a57cae8961f857ec

20.01.2022 Push For Better Together! The team here at Stride Kids are participating in The Push-Up Challenge to raise awareness around the lives lost to suicide and to raise money for headspace to increase the mental health support available to young people! The aim is to do 3,046 push-ups from now until the end of May! We are doing a mixture of activities and will try to give you all regular updates along the way! If youd like to participate or donate, please feel free to do so - in the meantime, please enjoy our first video of us physically struggling...I mean distancing through this challenge!

19.01.2022 Welcome to Stride Kids (formerly The Poppy Centre run by Aftercare)! We wanted to share our new name and look and feel with you a little earlier, but COVID-19 stole our thunder. Its a name that recognises all big achievements start small. And that wherever our clients are on their recovery journey, well be by their side, like weve always been. ... We know its a big change, but were looking forward to sharing this next chapter with you. Together, well keep finding new ways to learn, grow and heal. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthsupport #anxietyawareness #childhoodmentalhealth #parenting #suicideprevention #depressionawareness

17.01.2022 Just a little update from our Poppy Team

17.01.2022 A free webinar for parents of anxious children, provided by Every Family. :)

16.01.2022 With the children at home on Pupil Free days (thanks COVID-19), we thought you might like some of these suggestions. Education isnt all about books - learning the basics in life, and creating great relationships are a big part of it too. Take care, stay safe, and call us if you need to. Were still here..........

16.01.2022 Were still in the office, but doing our part to keep a safe distance. Heres a screenshot from our morning ZOOM staff meeting. Check out Raj whos currently working from home - she didnt get the bunny ears

15.01.2022 Tips from the Parentline Qld & NT facebook page, to talking with your children about Corona virus, and whats going on around us. Remember this is new for all of us. :)

15.01.2022 Happy Easter everyone. We hope you are all staying safe and healthy, and have found a way to connect with loved ones in this time of staying at home. Thanks to Fleur from Headspace who came over to take our selfie with social distancing. We just couldnt manage it ourselves and maintain the recommended distance. :)

13.01.2022 Heres something to help the little ones (and maybe some big ones too) with the hand washing. WARNING: if youve heard enough of Baby Shark you may not want to hear it, but the kids will love it :) https://www.facebook.com/lisbeth.pihlgren/videos/3063402887006175/

12.01.2022 In response to COVID-19 we have transitioned to phone and online services including video conferencing. This ensures we can continue to support you and enables a face-to-face approach. We know that you may be experiencing increased levels of anxiety so please contact your Support Worker or visit www.aftercare.com.au

06.01.2022 "Birdie and the Virus" is an easy to read story book for children, to help them understand the Corona Virus, and the changes that have come with that. When a child has been affected by a stressful event, the Birdie stories help them cope by: helping them understand whats happened, and what might happen next helping them feel safe, sharing a story in a caring relationship with an adult... helping them learn words for big feelings like sadness, anger and worry, as well as words for feeling happy, cosy, content and safe reassuring them that its okay to express and talk about feelings giving them interesting, enjoyable experiences to work against unpleasant experiences they may have had or still be having You can hear the story and see the pages in this video link. The book has recently been published by Childrens Health Qld, written by their very own Andrea Baldwin. The Birdie series of books tackle a number of disruptive events, and help us to help them make sense of it. https://www.childrens.health.qld.gov.au/covid-19-birdie-vi/

02.01.2022 Looking for something to do while youre stuck at home?? Were throwing out a challenge for this week - we want your family to create something with what you already have at home. It can be anything - drawing, painting, building, cooking, gardening or something else your family love to do and create. We cant wait to see what you come up with - doing it together as a family is a great opportunity to enjoy each others company. You can post photos of your creation in the comments below, and next Monday, well announce the winning families. We hope to get some of the photos up on the wall in the Centre, and youll be able to see them next time youre in. :)
