In the early 2000’s Australia changed its mind about locking people up as its primary strategy for managing mental illness, intellectual disability, autism, addiction, acquired brain injury, child abuse, dysregulated behaviour, and criminal behaviour. The Education system has absorbed this exodus of children, adolescents, and adults from the old institutions.
Schools are responsible for things that they have never had responsibility for in the past. Join us for a bower(schools) workshop, where we will explore how schools manage children and families with complex needs and the importance of collaboration with the education and health systems. We explore the recalibration between these systems, so they work together to benefit children and their families.
Bower(schools) endeavours to address the boundary between schools and the mental health, medical, child protection, justice, and disability systems over the highly complex matters most schools and teachers are now engaged with.
