HandUp

HandUp is digitising the process of booking with school counsellors, making the communication between student, counsellor and teacher safe and confidential.

Feeling stressed? Scientists have proved that the best way to beat it is to share your feelings with someone in the same situation. Sharing a threatening situation with someone in a similar emotional state 'buffers' you from the feeling of fear brought on by the perceived threat.

Make sure you are washing your hands with soap for 20 seconds and avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Call your elderly relatives and check up on them. We are all in this together and we all need each other more than ever.

Head Up, Stay Strong
These are difficult, unprecedented times but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Just remember that, "This too, shall pass".

Stay safe and take care.

The beginning of the school year can be stressful for students and equally stressful for school staff.
This new year remember to take some time out to write out what you want to achieve in 2020, both personally and professionally, and create a plan to hit those goals.

Positive thoughts create good vibes. Positive intentions create good vibes. Wanting to reach out and help creates good vibes. When we want to accomplish something, we have a positive energy in which which actually drives us.

This is fair point and often not talked about in ATAR discussions —> “what will happen is it will become an open market, and in an open market kids with money, will be advantaged. You could see the system being gamed," https://t.co/cJNLSN5HI2

Research has found that the part of the brain that regulates stress and anxiety shrinks when meditation is practiced consistently 🧘‍♀️🙏🏼

Today is R U OK Day – a day where we check in with people in our communities, ask “are you okay?”, and support those who are struggling.

Trust the signs, trust your gut & ask R U OK?

This article highlights the stress teachers are under; it's hard to imagine what it is like for the counsellors.

We are committed to making communication between student, counsellor and teacher more efficient and effective. #mentalhealth #edtech
