Happy Healthy Kids Euroa

Establishment of a school-based clinic
Why is it needed?
Young people and their families who are struggling in our community have difficulty accessing help due to cost, transport, and availability of services. Young people with emotional, behavioural and physical health needs often go without help.

What will be offered?
A partnership between local Schools, Kinders and health services will get these kids the help they need:
- Mental health services provided at Euroa Primary School by a Provisional Psychologist under the supervision of Dr. Kate Reid, Clinical Psychologist.
- Paediatric services by Dr. Patrick Stark - visiting every two months.

Happy Healthy Kids project will benefit the local community by;
Improving health outcomes for children struggling with physical, emotional and social needs.

Improving family functioning of vulnerable families.
Improving behaviour and engagement in school and community settings.

Reduced stress for teachers, coaches, friends and family who support these young people.
