Defence kids in Darwin, aged between 8 to 14 year olds, are invited to join us for our KidSMART workshop.

The KidSMART program helps kids to manage any issues that may arise from posting, relocation and deployment.

This one day workshop aims to assist kids to develop strategies on how to make friends and social connections. Kids will learn coping strategies on how to transition into a new school, recognise resilience and ways to build up their self-confidence.

Children will need to bring a packed lunch, morning tea and a drink bottle.
