Due to the heightened anxiety and stress that year 12 students are currently facing. The Mental Health Working Party will be running a HSC Study Space Program, similar to those held during Mental Health Month, in the lead up to the HSC trail exams. The program will run from Monday 13 July - 7 August and will be across 4 libraries. We are looking for CBWWYN members to take on the Youth Worker role, same as last year. I will forward on an Eventbrite link early next week where you can register as the youth worker role for the sessions. Kassie Paice will coordinate the roster so please contact her If you have any questions after registration. We need a minimum of 1 worker but 2 would be ideal. Please scroll down to the end of this email for role of the Youth Worker.
