The first in a number of opportunities by the Yarra Ranges Council for locals to come together to learn about key issues effecting so many lives in today’s ever- changing world.
Location: ONLINE
Date: Thursday September 23
Start time: 7:00 pm
The last 18 months has been a very challenging period for parents, children, youth and families. From the bushfires of 2019/2020, to the pandemic with ongoing lockdowns, and then the storm that swept through Yarra Ranges on 9 June 2021, life seems to just keep throwing curve balls. Disruption, stress, tiredness, fatigue, and uncertainty about the future, these are all experiences that seem to ring true for many people.
‘Are We There Yet? Getting There Together’ is a webinar focused on meeting the needs of parents, carers and families who may be wondering, what is normal, how do I balance competing commitments and get through this, how do I best support family and the young people in my life, and how do I look after myself?
It will be facilitated by David Younger – Clinical Psychologist, and an expert in the area of natural disasters and emergencies. David has worked with many communities and individuals throughout Victoria and Australia. He is a member of the Education Department’s Trauma Recovery Team and is on the advisory panel of Melbourne University’s Children and Disasters Group.
David brings a commitment and a sensitivity to the experiences and needs of those that join the sessions. Everyone is welcome, privacy will be respected.
