Mental health sessions offered
Brisbane Water Secondary College is publicising two mental health education sessions offered by Headspace mental health service this term for parents, carers and community members.
These sessions are online and free.
"The sessions aim to strengthen your understanding of mental health definitions, enhance a conversational approach to mental health and well-being," said Woy Woy campus principal Ms Rebecca Cooper.
"They aim to build skills and strategies to support young people, including transition to work and study, and to build awareness of local, state and national supports available to young people.
"They should increase knowledge and understanding of the mental health challenges facing young people today and introduce some skills and strategies."
A session about Navigating uncertainty and change will be held from 12-1:15pm on Tuesday, August 9.
A session about Connecting and communicating with young people will be held from 6:30-7:45pm on Monday, September 12.
