11月8日新西兰教育部消息,政府辅导支持,帮助24,000名年轻人在学校茁壮成长。

教育部副部长扬·蒂内蒂(Jna Tinetti)说:”政府正在为大约24,000名最弱势的儿童和青少年提供咨询支持。 我们正在向整个新西兰的141所小学、中学、地区和小型中学派驻辅导员。这笔资金是继今年1月向大型中学增拨3180万纽币之后的又一笔资金。这相当于全国范围内新增了90名辅导人员,意味着223,838名学生在学校可以有更好的机会获得咨询师的帮助。这项倡议在四年内投资4400万纽币,作为去年宣布的2亿纽币一揽子计划的一部分,以改善学习者和教育工作者的福祉。在我们继续处理COVID-19对我们的儿童和青年的影响时,这一点特别重要。良好的心理健康和福祉对学生的成功至关重要。我知道,对于我们的一些儿童来说,缺乏健康正妨碍他们的出勤、参与和成就。 这种支持将帮助儿童和青少年更好地处理问题,如欺凌、孤独、在学校焦虑或失去或悲伤等问题。作为一名前校长,我知道教师和学生将多么欢迎这种额外的支持″。

扬·蒂内蒂说: “除了最近宣布的1500万纽币用于帮助奥克兰学生在2021年和2022年保持学习状态外,学校辅导员倡议将提供急需的进一步支持。政府还正在将把更多的力度扩展到北部、马努考县、丰盛湾、湖泊和西海岸地区卫生局地区。

玛娜·艾克目前在坎特伯雷和凯库拉的大约9,000名1至8年级学生提供福利和积极的心理健康支持。学校最了解他们的学生。因此,在学校咨询倡议下,将由他们与他们的家族、社区、福利工作人员和咨询提供者合作,决定他们的学生需要什么支持以及如何提供这些支持。 我们希望所有儿童和青少年都能理解,有时感觉不好也没关系的,更多地了解他们的感受和行为,并与他们的老师、同学和他们的家族建立支持性的关系。在制定儿童和青年福利战略期间,一位年轻人说,‘有时试图接触人们可能是一件可怕的事情。如果当我们感到沮丧的时候,有一个关心我们的人,我们可以尽快见到他,那就太好了′。这就是′学校辅导”的目的所在。这都是我们计划的一部分,目的是使新西兰成为所有儿童和年轻人的一个更好的地方。这样他们就能过上健康、快乐的生活”副部长说。

8 November,Counselling support to help 24,000 young people thrive at school 
The Government is funding counselling support for around 24,000 of our most vulnerable children and young people, Associate Minister of Education Jan Tinetti says.
“We are putting counsellors into 141 primary, intermediate, area and small secondary schools throughout Aotearoa. This funding follows an additional $31.8 million which was allocated to large secondary schools in January this year. It equates to 90 additional counselling staff across the country and means 223,838 students have better access to a counsellor at school,” Jan Tinetti said.
“This initiative invests $44 million, over four years, as part of the $200 million package announced last year to improve the wellbeing of learners and educators. It is particularly important as we continue to deal with the impacts on our children and young people from COVID-19.
“Good mental health and wellbeing is essential for student success. I know that for some of our tamariki, a lack of wellbeing is getting in the way of their attendance, engagement, and achievement.
“This support will help children and young people better manage issues such as bullying, loneliness, anxiety at school, or loss or grief. As a former principal, I know how much teachers, and students, will welcome this extra support.
The Counsellors in Schools initiative will provide much needed further support beyond the $15 million announced recently to help Auckland students to stay engaged in their learning in 2021 and 2022.
The Government is also expanding Mana Ake into the Northland, Counties Manukau, Bay of Plenty, Lakes, and West Coast District Health Board regions. Mana Ake currently provides wellbeing and positive mental health support for around 9,000 Year 1 to 8 learners in Canterbury and Kaikoura.
“Schools know their learners best. So, with the Counselling in Schools initiative, it will be up to them, working with their whānau, communities, wellbeing staff and the counselling provider, to decide what supports their students need and how they will be delivered.
  “We want all children and young people to understand it’s okay at times not to feel fine, to learn more about their feelings and behaviours, and to build supportive relationships with their teachers, their classmates and their whānau.
  “During the development of the Child and Youth Wellbeing Strategy, one young person said ‘sometimes it can be a scary thing trying to reach out to people. It would be good if there was someone, we could see ASAP when we’re feeling down.’ That is what Counselling in Schools is designed to do.
  “It’s all part of our plan to make Aotearoa a better place for all our children and young people so they can go on to live healthy, happy lives,” Jan Tinetti said.
  This announcement was made at Te Kura o Hau Karetu in Upper Hutt.
12 schools in the greater Wellington region, including Te Kura o Hau Karetu, will be offering counselling in schools to around 2,134 students and whānau.
