Acacia Avenue Preschool has the extreme privilege of welcoming two amazing presenters, Jessica Macartney and Chris Daicos, to speak on the post-covid effects on our children, our loved ones, and ourselves.

Would you know how to best assist someone suffering from a mental health issue? Jessica will take us through Mental Health First Aid and give resources and advice to help with this.

Chris Daicos has been working with the community for years, helping people build resilience and a growth mindset. At this event she will be talking specifically about Childhood Anxiety - this issue has been made even more important and pertinent after 2020's covid lockdowns.
