Wellbeing
Five-Ways-to-Welbeing.pdfWho can help?
We know that individuals, children/tamariki, adults and familes/whānau can sometimes face tough times or hardship. Our school community is here to help. Please feel free to reach out to our school office or a staff member if you want help or advice.
Below are a range of resources that can be a starting point for understanding trauma. These resources have been gathered from a variety of sources. Some are for adults, some are for tamariki (children). Some are free and others have associated costs.
What is Trauma? Trauma can be defined as an overwhelming experience/s that can undermine an individual’s belief that the world is good and safe (Berry Street Victoria, 2013).
