Many schools offer before or after school tutoring for students for various topics. Be sure to ask your Year Coordinator or subject teacher about what is on offer if you feel a little extra help with a certain subject. External tutoring services are also available and many also allow you to access these at a discounted rate using the Creative Kids vouchers through Service NSW. DHUB also offers Homework Club for young indigneous students.

Student Support comes in many different ways and can include working one on one with a Student Support Officer on coming up with strategies to assist you with a particular issue, or it could be spending time talking confidentially to a School Counsellor. For indigenous students, many supports are offered through programs such as Clontarf and NASCA. To get to know what supports are available to you, it is best to speak first to your Year Coordinator.

Some of you may already have a regular family doctor who you have been seeing for quite a while. For others of you, going to a GP might not be something you have done much of in the past - either way, GPs can be a huge help for you over the coming years. Physically when you go through adolescents there can be changes in your body that might cause you concern or stress and it can be good to talk to a doctor about them. But as this great video demonstrates, you can also talk to your doctor about things that are affecting your mental health.

Sometimes when our mental health issues affect our day to day life we may need to start seeing a Psychologist for a while to work through our issues and learn new ways of thinking and how to cope in tough situations or to talk through traumatic events from our life. Psychologists, like doctors are confidential and it's important that you feel comfortable talking to your Psychologist and be able to open up. If you don't click the first time, give them another shot - otherwise it is important to keep looking around for the right Psychologist for you.
