Description

On this episode of the Inaburra Podcast, David Collins talks to Joanne Wyles, Andrew Coote and Maria Taylor about practical strategies for parents to use as they talk to their children about crisis events. 2020 has started with a number of challenges that have impacted our students in a variety of ways, and managing the anxiety and difficult questions that can arise in situations including the bushfires and the current virus pandemic is a challenge that many of our parents are facing. We hope you find this discussion informative and practical.

In addition to the podcast, the Australian Psychological Society have released a Fact Sheet on ‘Tips for Coping with Coronavirus Anxiety’ that our welfare team believe you might also find helpful.
