WELLBEING NEWS
Free Individual consultations for parent support are available on Thursday 11th May - bookings essential.
Last term many of our school parents met Helen Diamond, who is a parent educator from CatholicCare, at our Parent Information evening. Helen shared her experience and knowledge of research and supportive approaches to help parents build strong relationships with their children.
Helen will be available for these FREE individual consultations either at school, or at the Warrnambool CatholicCare office, on Thursday 11th May. This will give parents an opportunity to chat one on one with Helen to explore and understand what she can recommend for your individual circumstances.
Bookings need to be made directly with Helen who can be contacted through the Warrnambool office of CatholicCare, 142 Timor Street on 5559 3000.
‘Circle of Security Parenting’
Helen shared what we can do to support children to feel ‘safe, seen and secure’. Helen was drawing on an evidence-based parenting program ‘Circle of Security Parenting’ which she is running this term. This is also a FREE program to support parents and carers of children aged 0-12.
Please see the program dates and registration details on the attached flyer.
Helen recommends a number of parenting resources which are listed below. The books have been purchased by the school and are now available for parents to borrow from the school library.
