“SUSO is available 24/7,” the department said in a press release. “School holidays can be stressful for some children – they may experience boredom, isolation, inactivity and limited access to naturally occurring social support from peers and mentors, including school based trusted adults. SUSO is available anytime day or night to address concerns effectively and efficiently.”
