Supporting students and families of Afghan background

Many Victorian students and families of Afghan background are currently experiencing trauma because of the events unfolding in Afghanistan. Furthermore, this is a difficult time for school staff supporting students in a remote learning environment.

Foundation House have prepared two recordings for school staff you can view here, and a downloadable Resource which provide schools with important information about how they can support their students and families of Afghan background. Further initiatives will follow.
