Why wellbeing is so important
14% of young people met the criteria for a mental disorder diagnosis
and one fifth experienced high or very high levels of psychological distress, according to Beyond Blue
Australian students are more anxious about schoolwork compared to the OECD average
with females, indigenous students and those from low socio-economic backgrounds experiencing the highest levels of stress according to research
Half of all the mental health conditions we experience throughout the course of our lives will have started by age 14
making a strong case for an increased focus on wellbeing and mental health in the classroom. Link to source
