Anxiety

Hi everyone and thankyou for having me in the forum. 

I live in rural NSW and my daughter has been having trouble with Anxiety attacks around a historical assault case, and there happens to be a boy at school who has become a trigger to her memories. She hasn't been able to attend school and now the school have decided she cant attend until she gets her Anxiety around this issue in check as she is disturbing the other kids. Well have our local health professionals involved but things don't seem to be getting anywhere. She is only 11 and a half and everywhere i contact has told me they don't deal with kids this age and to refer her back to them when she is 12. Can anyone tell me or suggest where i can go or who i can talk to around getting her some support. I just don't know how to help her or where to turn to next.

Hi RMB113,

 

Welcome to the forums! I am sorry to hear about your daughter's anxiety and its impact on her schooling. There are few resources that I know of which might be helpful:

https://directory.wayahead.org.au/ - is a good directory of mental health services in NSW

https://kidshelpline.com.au/ -  is helpful for parents with children suffering from anxiety

https://blueknot.org.au - is a good resource for anyone affected by complex trauma

 

I hope one of these is helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions or could be of further help. 💙
