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. Source

Validated by the University of Wollongong.
In 2021 an external evaluation of the Grow Your Mind program was completed by the University of Wollongong.
Participants were 32 teachers and 657 students across 25 classrooms from three schools. Classes were matched and then randomly assigned to either participate in the Grow Your Mind program or continue with their routine practice.
Students’ responses to validated surveys broadly indicated positive impacts for those whose class teachers participated in the Grow Your Mind program.These included a
- reduction in negative affect,
- positive gains in physical and psychological wellbeing
- quality of the child’s interactions with others, sense of connection, belonging and engagement.
These results show that schools benefit the most when purchasing the two core professional development courses alongside the teaching program.

7 out of 7 kids have mental health.
Let’s teach them how to look after it.
According to Beyond Blue, half of all serious mental health issues begin before a child reaches 14 years of age.
We believe that the more we embed messages about emotional health in young children, the more chance we have of positive mental health outcomes now and later in life.
