The importance of wellbeing in schools is no longer in question. Hundreds of studies emphasise that kids need to be psychologically well to learn and thrive. Hundreds more reports reveal the growing incidence and potentially life-shattering impact of mental health issues, which affect our students and teachers.
THE QUESTION NOW IS HOW:
- How do we create an environment in which our students – and teachers – can flourish?
- How do we take concepts such as “resilience” and “positive psychology” beyond theory and fad to help our students thrive at school and in the real world?
- How do we find out what’s actually working in real schools so we’re not rehashing tired old programs that don’t work anymore?
- How do we inspire and engage staff who are tired of “the next big thing” in school programs?
Too often staff start with tremendous enthusiasm, but so many “hope” programs, (where “we hope this works”) can leave them jaded and cynical.
This Wellbeing for Schools package is designed to address all these issues, and lift your school to the next level of wellbeing. It provides powerful, immediately applicable strategies that are empirically proven and make an immediate difference.
Wellbeing for Schools takes a three-pronged approach with separate, targeted programs for students, parents and educators in Wellbeing, Resilience and Respectful Relationships.
