Transitioning Back to School ✏️

Transitioning back to school can be difficult, particularly after longer holiday periods. This may be due to:
✨ increased sensory experiences
✨ increased social demands
✨ academic pressure
✨ new or reintroduced routines
✨ unfamiliarity with peers, new teachers, and new environments

Here are some things you can do to help make this transition easier for your young people:
🍃 avoid overloading schedules
🍃 validate their experience
🍃 open early communication with teachers
🍃 re‑establish routines slowly
🍃 model calm behaviour

If your child is finding the transition especially tough, our psychologists can offer support and practical strategies to help them.
We have psychologists on our team with availability for new referrals. Referrals can be made by:
🩵 calling 1800 372 000 (option 2)
🩵 emailing fsapsychology@familyservices.org.au

DBT is a talk therapy based upon Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and was first introduced to assist with difficulties related to Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). DBT is now evidence based for assisting with mood and emotion difficulties, PTSD, self-harm and suicidal ideation, and bipolar disorder ✨

DBT teaches skills and strategies across four domains
🍃 Emotional Regulation
🍃 Distress Tolerance

🍃 Interpersonal effectiveness.

DBT is evidence based across the lifespan and many of our psychologists incorporate DBT skills and strategies into their work.
