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-econonmic 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

Still unsure if Grow Your Mind is right for your school?
My students are loving following the Grow Your Mind lessons and having really mature discussions about their feelings. I have actually been quite blown away by their engagement, enthusiasm, and quality participation. The students are confidently using the language of the brain and the animals and are also starting to make connections with the different behaviours regulated by each.
