As we move into the holiday period we want to make you aware of the supports that are available to your young person when they are not at school. Changes to routine can be hard and your young person may experience times when they feel a range of challenging emotions such as sadness, stress, or loneliness.
During the holidays we encourage you to check in with your young person. It can be helpful to let them know that you are available to speak with them if they ever need. You may also like to encourage them to stay connected with friends and family, look after their physical health and engage in the activities that they enjoy. Information to support your child prior to and across the break will be emailed directly to them.
If you notice that your young person may benefit from chatting with someone, we encourage you to make them aware and support them to access services. This may be engaging with your local headspace centre, GP or access online or telephone supports through eheadspace (1800 650 890) or kidshelpline (1800 55 1800).
Please note that you can also call the Ngala Parenting Line for support on 9368 9368 (Metro) or 1800 111 546 (Rural from a landline). Nagala is a free support service for WA parents and caregivers of children from conception to 18 years.
