At Harrisdale SHS, we understand that wellbeing extends beyond the classroom, and we encourage students and families to access support from outside the school as needed.
There are many support services available to assist with emotional wellbeing, crisis care, and parenting needs. These services offer confidential, professional help, ensuring families have access to the care and guidance they need, whenever they need it.
Suitable services can be found through your GP, trusted recommendations, or online searches. Headspace, a local and accessible starting point, provides free or low-cost support tailored to young people and their families.
In addition, free parenting education courses are available to help families build strong relationships, manage challenges, and support their children’s development with confidence.
