Our Multidisciplinary team recently visited both St Laurence’s Parish School Forbes and Forbes Public School – NSW DEC. The team also met with Forbes Shire Council and community organisation Boys To The Bush to connect, collaborate and learn more about local services.

This included:

• Clinicians spending time in classrooms and with educators to share developmental health rich classroom strategies.
• Face to face delivery of the Cool Kids anxiety group program
• Professional development workshop for educators on understanding regulation and supporting students’ alertness and engagement in learning.
• Parent workshop on helping your child navigate worry and anxiety

These supports are part of a broader, evidence-informed model designed to strengthen resilience, promote recovery and reduce the long-term impacts of disasters on children and their communities.

This initiative is proudly funded under the Disaster Ready Fund – an Australian Government Initiative, with support from both the Australian Government and the NSW Government.
