School Holiday Program important info
- If your child has not received support from HelpingMinds before (or within the last 6 months) a phone interview will need to take place with the parent/guardian
- A consent form will need to be signed by both parents.
- If children require medication throughout the day, they will be required to self-administer this.
- External support workers are not allowed at the workshop.
- Children require adequate independent coping skills to be able to deal with group situations.
- All our workshops have a maximum capacity to ensure our counsellors can provide adequate professional support for all children attending.
- To give everyone in the community a fair chance, each child can enrol in a maximum of two workshops.
This program is funded by the Department of Social Services and is provided at no cost to participants. This program is only open to those living in the City of Swan. We offer support for young people with a focus on managing emotions, building resilience, and addressing concerns like anxious thoughts, emotional regulation, relationship complications, sadness and more, though regrettably, we are currently unable to offer treatment and management for individuals with diagnosed mental health conditions.
