In the wake of the Bondi attack, many children are experiencing big feelings they don’t yet have words for. Worry, fear, confusion, or changes in behaviour are all very normal responses to distressing events.

Peaceful Kids is a gentle, evidence-based program designed to support children aged 6–11 in a small-group setting. Through simple breathing exercises and everyday life skills, kids learn how to calm their bodies, express worries safely, and build confidence and resilience.

The program is interactive, engaging, and facilitated by two experienced counsellors. It is offered free of charge and is open to all children in the wider community.
