Spielwelt German Parents Association is a not for profit organisation running children’s programs in German in Canberra
Mental Health initiative
Spielwelt has recently established a relationship with BeYou, a national mental health initiative with an enormous number of resources for families and teachers, to promote and protect children’s mental health and well-being.
At Spielwelt, we promote healthy messages throughout each session, incorporate our favourite topics like friendship, kindness, resiliance, affirmation, inclusivity, adaptability, respect, compassion, being mindful, healthy eating, self-belief and more. These help build children up, and gives them tools to cope with the epidemic of anxiety and depression which has been emerging in Western societies in recent years.
Our mental health coordinator can be reached on mental.health@spielwelt.org.au
You can read about our mental health and well-being program here.
We also have a support library and help pages for families who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, family violence, separation, dying/death of a loved one, addiction, or other stressful situations. Read on by clicking the square below, and talk to the teachers or director.
