Four children are ready to start therapy. They’re just waiting for a place to open.

Right now, we don’t have enough therapist hours to see them.

This week, your donation will be matched dollar for dollar thanks to Ethical Jobs.

Help us bring these children into therapy sooner.

When a child is struggling, waiting months for support can feel like forever.

Family change often follows child change. When children develop regulation skills and feel understood, the benefits extend beyond the classroom into their home environment.

Trauma-informed, school-based therapeutic support strengthens relational dynamics and reduces stress across systems.

Healing happens in safe, consistent spaces — and that stability supports learning and engagement.

This reflection from a young client at Granville PS captures something educators see every day: wellbeing and learning are deeply connected.

When emotional regulation improves, engagement increases. When stress decreases, learning becomes more accessible.

Supporting children therapeutically within school settings strengthens both academic participation and long-term development.

Transition points are vulnerable periods for many children. Changes in environment, expectations and peer groups can heighten anxiety and dysregulation.

Supporting emotional regulation before Year 7 begins protects long-term engagement and learning continuity.

As part of our school partnership program, KidsXpress includes structured high school transition support to help students enter secondary settings with greater confidence and stability.

When a child is in fight, flight or freeze, the thinking brain is offline. Expecting reasoning during dysregulation rarely works.

Trauma-informed practice prioritises regulation first, relationship second, learning third.

When nervous systems settle, learning becomes possible.

School-based therapeutic support strengthens classrooms by strengthening emotional safety.

Over the past two days many people will have seen media coverage of a violent incident involving Sydney school students, including footage of the attack circulating online.

Our thoughts are with the young person at the centre of this incident and their family. When deeply distressing moments like this are shared widely, it can extend the harm for the child involved and impact many other young people who may see the footage.

When events like this circulate widely, it also raises an important question for all of us working with and around children: what happens to a child’s dignity when their worst moment becomes widely shared content?

There can also be unintended consequences. When incidents go viral, the young people responsible may gain notoriety or attention among their peers - something that can reinforce harmful behaviour rather than discourage it.

Completely shielding young people from what spreads online is almost impossible. But how adults respond (and how these moments are shared and discussed) can make a real difference.

A trauma-informed response asks us to pause and consider the impact not only on the child involved, but also on the many other young people who may be watching.

Moments like this can be difficult for parents, carers and educators to navigate. When incidents involving young people reach the media, schools and teachers can also come under intense public scrutiny. Yet behind the scenes, educators and school staff are often working hard to support the wellbeing of their students and respond carefully to complex situations.

Children shouldn’t have to carry these moments alone. It’s up to us as adults, at home and at school, to hold calm, supportive spaces where they can process what they’re feeling safely.

We’ve attached a practical guide for parents and carers on how to support children when distressing videos circulate online. Educators may also find it helpful to share with families in their school communities. The guide can also be viewed and downloaded here: https://www.canva.com/design/DAHDyCPoulo/jS8AOaEWvi1KOA3-TCGuXA/view?utm_content=DAHDyCPoulo&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h8ba434f6f1

Slow, deep breathing helps regulate the nervous system by signalling safety to the brain.

When we breathe deeply into the belly and lengthen the exhale, the stress response begins to settle and the thinking brain comes back online.

Regulation skills change outcomes. When children learn to calm their bodies, they regain access to learning and connection.
