Has your child returned to school this week?

While the return to school may be exciting for many students, others will be feeling anxious or frightened. Some may school refuse or feel overwhelmed while others may not share their back to school worries.

Signs your child might be worried include:

- sleeping difficulties
- restlessness
- bursts of anger over seemingly benign things
- withdrawing
- complaints about headaches or feeling sick

If you or your child need support during this challenging time, contact the rooms on (03) 5976 5257 for an appointment.

Good news for all Australians out of the Federal Budget.....

From Friday 9 October 2020, the Government will double the number of Medicare rebatable sessions from 10 to 20 per year for anyone eligible for a Mental Health Care Plan.

The ongoing COVID-19 lockdown measures have been wearing for many and have contributed to increasing uncertainty both financially and emotionally.

Some positive news in light of the increased restrictions due to COVID-19

This is no doubt a difficult time for many, with increased uncertainty and stress. If you need support, contact the rooms on 5976 5257 for an appointment.

The Australian Government will provide 10 additional Medicare subsidised psychological therapy sessions for people subjected to further restrictions in areas impacted by the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
