Newsletter Winter 2020
So, the kids are on school holidays again. Where did Term 2 go? Or perhaps you are feeling like that term dragged on. Either way, are you prioritising your health?
Looking after yourself
Most people have found these past few months particularly stressful. If you are finding it difficult to get on top of these feelings you may like to visit our blog for advice on how to access support. Your wellbeing is our priority!
Free support for parents supporting children with special needs and disabilities
Dynamic Parenting has launched a Free Parenting Program, providing a workshop series specifically for parents with special needs children to navigate the impacts of COVID19 via their online community. Follow the link to explore if this is for you.
Telehealth in Term 3 With government restrictions tightening rather than easing, we have decided to continue with telehealth into term 3. We understand some families may be feeling frustrated by the restrictions COVID-19 has placed on us, but this decision is temporary and will be re-evaluated as restrictions ease. As the school holidays end, and new updates from the Victorian Government are released, we will discuss on an individual family basis the introduction of face-to-face sessions.
Timetables - Term 3, 2020 For Term 3 appointments, it is best to contact Kristina directly to discuss your preferences and the method of delivery.
