๐Ÿ’š Team Milestones Time! ๐ŸŽ‰

This month, we asked the question - What have you learned through your work with Young Minds. Our amazing OT and Clinical Lead, Karlee Wiles (who has now been with us for 6 YEARS!) had this to say:

"WOW - I can't believe it's been 6 years. The biggest thing I have learned - How vital a multidisciplinary approach is in ensuring holistic support for clients. I have found working with psychologists, social workers, speech pathologists and of course other OTs, an invaluable experience - I have learned a lot from the team at YMs!" - Karlee ๐Ÿ’œ

Karlee works with caregivers, children, and adolescents, adopting a family centred, and evidence-based approach. She focuses on clientsโ€™ strengths and interests to maximise their participation and independence in everyday activities. We love having you on our team Karlee! ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ’œ

Not sure if itโ€™s time to take your child to a psychologist? ๐Ÿค” Youโ€™re not alone ๐Ÿ’œ

As parents, it can be hard to tell the difference between a phase, and something your child might need extra support with. From big emotions to school struggles, to anxiety, behaviour changes, or total withdrawal... These moments can leave you wondering whatโ€™s normal and whatโ€™s not.

The truth is - You donโ€™t have to figure it out alone ๐Ÿ’œ

Our latest blog gently walks you through the signs to look out for, when to seek support, and how early help can make a real difference in your childโ€™s wellbeing โœจ

Getting support isnโ€™t about something being โ€œwrongโ€. Itโ€™s about giving your child the tools to thrive ๐Ÿ’ซ

๐ŸŒŸ Fact or Fiction ๐ŸŒŸ

When kids understand their emotions, they do better! ๐Ÿ’ก

Our Fact or Fiction group helps children go beyond the basics of โ€œhappy, sad, angry, scaredโ€ and truly explore:
โœจ The science behind the brain & emotions (through games, hands-on learning & videos)
โœจ Myths about feelings, thoughts & interactions with others
โœจ How emotions impact friendships & handling tricky social moments
โœจ How self-image and confidence shape everyday life

With guidance from skilled clinicians, kids learn practical strategies to:
๐Ÿ’ฌ Manage emotions with support from adults
๐Ÿค Build stronger social connections
๐Ÿ’ช Strengthen confidence & self-competency

The result? A boost in emotional regulation, friendships, and overall wellbeing. ๐ŸŒฑ

From emotional regulation to social skills, our evidence-based group programs are designed to nurture growth, connection, and wellbeing. ๐Ÿ’œ

โ€œWhy is my child so angry?โ€ ๐Ÿ’ฅ Explosive behaviour can feel overwhelming for parents, but underneath - anger is usually something deeper ๐Ÿง 

Explore whatโ€™s really driving big reactions in our kids, and how to respond in ways that build emotional regulation (instead of escalating the storm).

This blog post looks at:
๐Ÿง  The psychology behind anger in children
๐ŸŒฑ Common triggers for explosive behaviour
๐Ÿ’ฌ Practical, evidence-based strategies for calmer responses
๐Ÿค How to strengthen connection during tough moments

Remember: Angry kids arenโ€™t โ€œbadโ€ kids. Theyโ€™re just struggling with big feelings they donโ€™t know how to manage yet.

๐Ÿ  Scuba Samโ€™s Social Adventures!๐Ÿ 

Some kids need a little extra support learning the building blocks of friendship โ€” things like taking turns, joining in, and reading social cues.

๐Ÿค In this fun and supportive program, children learn key social skills through structured teaching and play-based practice.

๐Ÿ’ฌ With adult โ€œcoachesโ€ by their side, they get real-time feedback and encouragement to help new skills stick.

๐ŸŒŠ As confidence grows, kids feel more connected, capable, and motivated in their friendships โ€” both in clinic and in everyday life.

From emotional regulation to social skills, our evidence-based group programs are designed to nurture growth, connection, and wellbeing. ๐Ÿ’œ
