About Us
In the past few weeks, we have seen Australian teachers rise to the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown at them. We would like to thank you for your unwavering dedication to the education of your students.
At Jacaranda, our number one priority is to support you and the wider school community. We understand that in times of crisis and uncertainty, a student’s wellbeing is just as important as their education.
To help us, help you, we asked Dr Michael Carr-Gregg to join us for a webinar on ‘Supporting student wellbeing during COVID-19’. Dr Carr-Gregg is one of Australia’s highest-profile psychologists, author of 15 books, broadcaster and a specialist in parenting, children, adolescents and the use of technology for mental health.
Although this webinar has passed, we would like to give everyone the opportunity to get expert advice on supporting student wellbeing. That’s why we have written a summary of Dr Carr-Gregg’s main tips from his presentation below.
During his presentation, Dr Michael Carr-Gregg shared tips and strategies for teachers on:
Supporting students to adjust to their new norm
Managing anxiety and stress in times of crisis
If you are worried about a student or haven’t heard from them, Michael recommends reaching out to make sure they are okay. If you’re not sure if they are okay, Michael suggests using objective online tools such as the Anxiety and depression checklist or the Child mental health checklist from Beyond Blue.
Proactive ideas to promote student wellbeing
“If you can’t change something, change the way you think about it”
“See life as it is, but focus on the good bits”
“When we’re together, everything’s better”
We would like to thank Dr Michael Carr-Gregg for taking the time to join us and for sharing his invaluable knowledge and strategies on student wellbeing. We hope this information goes a long way in helping support Australian teachers and students during this truly unprecedented time.
Jacaranda is also supporting schools in a number of other ways. Here are just a few:
