Webinar Week!                                                                              20 August

After sending families details of parent webinars in LFH eNews #14, we then received this invitation for parents as well. Regional Principals had the pleasure of a short session with Dr Michael Carr-Gregg last week. As expected, he provided such a useful and sensible lens for viewing the current crisis, which Kathy, Jo and I found very reassuring. 

Please consider registering for this special opportunity:

On Tuesday 25 August, the Department of Education and Training is presenting a free webinar for parents and carers by renowned child psychologist Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, on building family resilience during coronavirus (COVID-19). Parents and carers play a vital role in helping children feel safe through uncertain times.

Dr Carr-Gregg’s webinar is aptly named Managing the Coronacoaster – Tips for building resilient families in the coronavirus era.

In this webinar, Dr Carr-Gregg provides tools and strategies for parents and carers to help manage the lockdown and remote learning. Topics include:

• your supportive role
• setting the emotional tone
• focusing on what you can control
• how to deal with disappointment
• further resources and where to get help.

Dr Carr-Gregg’s presentation will run for 45 minutes. This will be followed by a 15-minute question-and-answer session in which parents and carers can ask Dr Carr-Gregg questions.
