School Anxiety 🤍

Do you have a teen girl who could benefit from learning evidence-based strategies to cope with anxiety and stress?

Our Coping with Stress Hot Chocolate Circle is starting next Wednesday from 4:30–5:30 pm at Goodlife Community Centre.

We aim to create a safe and comfortable space where girls can connect with each other and learn evidence-based strategies to better manage stress and anxiety. 🌸

During the 8-week program, teen girls will learn what stress and anxiety are, how to catch their early signs of stress, and ways to calm their bodies. We also talk about time management, problem-solving, and how to reframe our thoughts.💭

We would love to welcome your daughter into the Hot Chocolate Circle ☕🤍

Baringa SSC would like to acknowledge our partnership with SunnyKids and Strength Potential. This week the group of eight Year 8 and 9 female students will be participating in their last session of the Hot Chocolate Circle program. We were generously sponsored for this program and are delighted that this sponsorship has been extended for another program in 2026. The ‘Coping with Stress’ program is delivered by a psychologist and is designed to help girls develop a deeper understanding of their stressors and learn evidence-based strategies for managing them.
