Repair Café
Do you have any household items that are broken or need mending? Do you want to save money on unnecessary purchases and repair these items for free? Bring them along to the Community Repair Café and speak with one of our amazing volunteer fixers.
Regular workshops take place on the last Saturday of the month from 9am-11am at the Bridge Road Community Centre. You can find out more about upcoming workshops here: https://meltonlearning.com.au/community-repair-cafe/
Mental Health Professional Development for educators
The Health Promotion Team at Western Health have been working with David Collins of YOU Psychology to create a free professional development package for staff at local schools. Within the package we have:
· 2 hour session on site in school – this is an introductory package that provides take home tools that you can use when working with students, and presents information on the different mental health disorders and how to manage them
· Full day session at a central location in Melton (location TBD) on April 26, 2024 – the full day allows us to go into more depth about relevant research, underlying mechanisms, and more tools for teachers (e.g., really being able to go into more detail about the ADHD brain - not just symptoms, but what works and why it may work).
