HELPING KIDS understand and FEEL COMFORTABLE

Getting a COVID-19 test can be a daunting experience, especially for a kid.

To help support families of children aged 3-5 prepare for a COVID-19 test, a handy children’s booklet ‘Going to a COVID-19 Testing Clinic’ was developed. Handle Branding designed the booklet, which was developed by WSLHD’s Population Health team, in consultation with the Children’s Hospital (Westmead).

Several local families commented on the usefulness of the new booklet:

“It was a perfect way to show young children about how they will be tested if they need to be, helping children to feel more comfortable about being tested.”

“I liked that it was very clear, engaging and simple to read. Loved that Georgie had a snuggle toy that came along for the experience, very relatable for my family.”

“The format was great and would make it easy to explain the process to children using the pictures. The booklet could be printed and taken with you to the testing facility to refer to if your child is worried.”

To download a copy of the booklet, visit the Western Sydney COVID-19 Community Resources website. Join four year-old Georgie and her mum Felicity, as they explore COVID-19 testing options in Western Sydney. Even Georgie’s toy, “Horsey”, experiences a COVID-19 test!
