overview
Parents and carers want to give their children the best start in life. One simple way they can do this is by helping children recognise and manage their feelings, body signals and reactions. As teachers, social workers, counsellors and wellbeing staff, we can support parents and carers with information, ideas and simple, practical strategies to implement at home.

- Opportunities to share experiences, insights, and challenges related to social-emotional wellbeing.
