We collaborated with psychologists and educators to create ‘resource pool’ style programs, professional development opportunities and family resources, with concepts backed by decades of research.Our belief is that prevention in mental health care MUST begin with children as young as 3 years of age learning habitual skills for wellbeing BEFORE there are signs of mental challenges. The PLS programs have been independently reviewed and listed in the Be You Programs Directory as meeting the minimum evidence requirements set by Be You and have been awarded a rating for evidence and implementation. They support educators to feel confident in teaching common language mental wellness skills while meeting their other outcomes. The resources and dedicated educator wellbeing professional learning support children and educators to build practical skills for emotional wellbeing, resilience and healthy relationships and resources reach home to families.We are focused on supporting educators students and families to build their skills to understand themselves, manage their emotions, maintain healthy relationships and strive to reach their unique potential, without adding any additional work to time-poor and overwhelmed educators.We are actively seeking alliance partner organisations who would like to collaborate for preventative positive outcomes, so together we can take action to implement meaningful solutions and influence real change in our communities.
