mix well then dish up.

PANIC ATTACKS
We have already mentioned negative thoughts, and these can be the cause of a PANIC ATTACK
starting. We can easily recognize what we “feel”, but don’t always recognize the thought that came
before the feeling.
It is useful therefore to ask yourself, “What was I just thinking about?”
Once identified, if irrational, it can be challenged.

e.g. IRRATIONAL RATIONAL CHALLENGE

People will think I’m stupid I Don’t know what anyone
Else is thinking. It doesn’t
Really matter anyway.
I know I’m not stupid.
By challenging our thoughts in this way we not only slow down the release of adrenaline, but we
improve how we feel about ourselves.
So, learn to
CATCH THE THOUGHT + POSITIVELY CHALLENGE IT!

Celebrating Volunteering Event
on 6th June 2009 at the Old Market Square

Our chairman Thomas and two other volunteers helped set up

the stall which we ran from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. There was
some rain and wind in the morning but this didn’t put us off.
We started with Thomas demonstrating Chinese calligraphy.
Then Jennifer showed us how to make paper flowers which we
all tried and followed her step by step. When the flowers were
finished, they looked very beautiful and we enjoyed it very
much.
The Tai Chi performance was delayed because of the rain but
when Winnie stepped on to the stage people begin to gather
round. Everyone was very impressed and would have liked it to
go on longer.
Our Chinese brush painting tutor Mr Peter Millward then gave
us a demonstration. He did four or five beautiful pictures of
bamboo and flowers in just five minutes. He made it look so
easy to do.
Lastly our Mandarin Teacher Dan Peng who has been teaching
mandarin at the Chinese Welfare since March gave us all a
lesson. She made learning mandarin very interesting.
A big thank you to all who came along and took part.
What you can do
Keeping children safe from abuse is everyone’s responsibility.
Trust your judgment and take action.

Be someone to turn to for a child. If a child tells you that they are being abused, make it clear
to them that you take what they have told you very seriously and that you are going to help
them. You could provide them with Child Line’s free and confidential 24-hour helpline
number: 08001111. Or you can contact social services. If the child is in immediate life-
threatening danger, call 999.

Support a struggling parent

• Offer a listening ear – sometimes a chance to talk may be all that is needed to relieve
some stress.
• Offer practical help like caring for the children or doing the shopping.
• Help parents to find and access support or a service.

Parents: help yourself

• Find someone to turn to if you’re under stress – all parents become stressed from time
to time.
• Ask a friend or family member to help if you are under stress. They could baby-sit.
Take this time to do something that you enjoy.
• Seek help and advice. Help is available.
• Learn about healthy child development and positive ways to raise your child.
• Know what goes on in your children’s school and how their school responds to issues
of child abuse and bullying.
• Take time to seriously listen to your child to understand what the child is saying and
doing, and why.
