In response to COVID-19 and confirming their commitment to the health and wellbeing of Australian children, Life Education NSW has launched a new online program to support schools and families.

Life Education partners annually with 12 out of the 15 primary schools in the Kempsey LGA.

Available to all NSW schools, Life Education Online provides valuable lessons exploring healthy eating, personal safety, physical activity, cybersafety and the impact of alcohol and other drugs.

The virtual offering includes a range of free resources for parents and children, available on the Life Education website, to help families stay resilient, healthy, safe, and strong.

Life Education NSW CEO Jonathon Peatfield said during this unprecedented health crisis Life Education is committed to doing everything they can to support parents, children and communities.

"Children are living through a time of great uncertainty. This year has seen drought, fire and floods. Now we are facing broad community upheaval due to the COVID-19 crisis. Our mission - Empowering our children and young people to make safer and healthier choices through education - has never been more important than it is now," Mr Peatfield said.

"Coping with stress and anxiety, overcoming isolation from friends and family, staying physically healthy and active, communicating respectfully and openly - we need to focus on all of these things and more.

"That's why Life Education, a charity with more than forty years' experience in health education, is here to support you and your family through this crisis."
