Supporting your child through divorce or separation

As with everything in life ‘honesty is the best policy’ even when they conversations that have to be had, can be difficult and upsetting ones.

Below is a list of websites and pages that can help support your family through difficult times of change. Information in these resources, will help with how to broach the subject of divorce or separation with your child(ren), in a way which will support them to understand what these changes may mean for them whilst also guiding you in how to create a safe space for your child(ren) to work through and process their emotions.

If you require any further support or would like to talk through any of the information you have found on this page, please remember our Family Champions Kady Morrow & Karen Anderson are always available in centre to offer an ear and share a cuppa.

Mental Health & Wellbeing

What is wellbeing?

A strong sense of wellbeing contributes to good mental health. It also helps to protect us from feelings of hopelessness and depression. Mental health is not merely the absence of mental illness rather it’s a state of overall wellbeing.

The World Health Organisation defines mental health as “A state of wellbeing in which every individual realises his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.”

Wellbeing is about making a life where we can contribute to a greater society. Where we can have a more fulfilling existence with meaningful and supportive relationships. Wellbeing gives us a way to discover and explore our strengths. Wellbeing helps us live life to our full potential.

Wellbeing helps us:

stay resilient when times get tough
build social supports and self-efficacy
emerge from our challenges even stronger, knowing we have the ability to cope with adversity.
