12 October
Monday 10th October 2022 was World Mental Health Day!
World Mental Health Day is a day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy. It’s an initiative of the World Federation for Mental Health to raise public awareness of mental health issues worldwide. At Damascus, we continue to demonstrate our commitment educating our students on the importance of good mental health, through our Social an Emotional Learning Program in TA classes, as well as through our Health and Physical Education classes.
There are many ways that you can support yourself and those around you, to achieve and maintain good mental health; whether it’s through connecting with people, staying active, eating well, getting a good night’s sleep or doing something that brings you joy! When needed, additional supports are always there.
Our Student Counselling Services team are available to support students, families and staff to achieve good mental health, academic success, and positive social and emotional wellbeing. More information on Ballarat community services can also be found under the Learning Programs - Student Wellbeing tab on our school website.
