OnPsych

Picture
It's estimated that 1 in 7 school-age children have a mental health problem, like anxiety, depression and behaviour problems, but only 1 in 4 gets the help they need.
Picture
Most cases of children having mental health problems are first identified in their schools. A location where many children experience their first of firsts, childhood can often bring about some traumatic circumstance - even if they happen outside schools. In that sense, school's often always become a child's first line of defense and ensuring they get the help they need early and well ahead of time is critical to making sure they retain confidence, succeed, and combat their challenges.
Caused by many factors, a child's mental health can be easily affected. It's estimated that around one in seven Australian kids experience mental health issues and about half of all serious mental health issues in adulthood begin before the age of 14. One of the best approaches schools - and the teachers, principals, and administrators within them - can use is to recognise those students who need help and refer them to the right professionals - after involving and working with the child's parents and GP.
 
Scoresby Primary School now has a Counsellor available to support your child.
 
Shivonne Cammell is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and Play Therapist who specialises in child and adolescent mental health. Shivonne works with children to address mental health issues, develop resilience, enhance family relationships and adjust to new social circumstances in positive ways.
 
She can provide the following services:
  • Individual counselling for children
  • Parent support and psychoeducation
  • Family counselling
 
OnPsych’s services are provided at the school at NO OUT OF POCKET COST through Medicare bulk billing. Shivonne will work collaboratively with you, your child, and the teachers to resolve emotional and behavioural issues, build resilience and assist children to reach their full potential.
If you would like to know more, please contact the school administration staff and request a Parent Information Pack.
