Dear TIS Parents,
As a Counselling Team, we recognize that our community is doing exceptionally well under the circumstances, showing noteworthy flexibility and resilience. However, sometimes we know that it can also be helpful to access additional support and we would like our families to know that we are here if you need us.
We are attaching a pamphlet about our TIS Counselling Team that provides more information, including our school email address. For face-to-face consultations, we can meet with you via online conferencing platforms such as Skype or Zoom.
We are also writing to share some resources with you that may be of help at this time:
Talk to the Kids About the Coronavirus with These 5 Easy Tips
Read-aloud Coronavirus Safety for Children Book
How to Talk to Kids About Scary News
How to Help Children Manage Fears
In our experience as counsellors, we often discover that problems reveal hidden opportunities and lead people to grow new strengths. As challenging as it is, we see this unusual event as a unique opportunity for families to spend more time together, strengthen bonds and develop healthy routines.
Here are some links you can reference to help your family thrive in challenging times and beyond:
