Finding Our Feet in Times of Uncertainty – Contemporary, Creative Tools to Build Resilience
Abstract
With COVID-19 restrictions easing across the country, and devastating floods hitting Queensland and NSW, change has become a constant in the lives of children and their families. A recent study shows that children born in 2020 will experience a two- to sevenfold increase in extreme events, compared to their grandparents.
This workshop will examine the context of children and young people’s reality, sharing tools and resources for addressing the challenges. The necessity to work within a framework that recognises that events have impacted those caring for students too, and the need to support professionals wellbeing.
