Understanding and Responding to Feelings and Behaviours

UR FaB

Program in Schools

A Social and Emotional Program for Children in Year 2 to Year 3

St John the Apostle Primary School is taking part in the UR FaB mental health early intervention program for children in Years 2 and 3.  UR FaB is a partnership between the ACT Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) and the Education and Training Directorate (ETD). The program is staffed by health professionals from the CAMHS Childhood Early Intervention Program who specialise in early emotional and social development, together with the school counsellor, and a class teacher from St John the Apostle Primary School.

UR FaB aims to give children a good start to their school life and to promote an ongoing positive school experience, as well as to help families with raising young children.

A small group program will be running at the school for an eight week period during Term 3. The Ur FaB team will be spending time in the school in Term 2 in preparation for the work that will take place in Term 3

We look forward to providing you with further information about this program at the start of Term 2.
