Social Futures Resilient Kids team has created a resource to support Young People in Northern NSW impacted by Tropical Cyclone Alfred. Download Weathering the Weather resource >>
In Northern NSW we get some wild weather – from floods and storms, to droughts and fire – and recently a cyclone!
Weather events, and other changes that affect our day-to-day life, can be very stressful. Even after the danger is over, it can be hard to feel okay again.
Here are some ways to help your body and mind stay calm, so you can tackle the changes. If you’d like help finding some things that work for you, or you want to chat about anything, we’re here.
Find a safe space to sit. Try and connect with your senses one at a time.
Relax by breathing slowly. It helps calm your nerves, reduce stress, and helps you focus better—great for when you’re feeling anxious or just need a moment to chill!
This activity is like a superpower for your mind! It helps you focus on the stuff you can control, instead of getting stuck trying to change things you can’t.
Take a moment to check in with yourself—how are you feeling today?
Find a safe space to stand.
