Courses:

Our unique, evidence based programs are designed to support students in Years 9 to 12. We work closely with you to recognise your students’ needs and engage them on their level to embed positive attitudes towards help-seeking and wellbeing.

Delivered by our trained team of young and enthusiastic facilitators (rather than teachers or mental health professionals) our programs connect with students as peers. They are strengths-based and positively framed, with students walking away with practical tips and tools on how to look after their own mental health and support their friends.

Storytelling and our peer-to-peer voice are the core of our work and what sets us apart. Our programs centre around real-life lived experiences of young people overcoming mental ill-health. These safe stories are carefully developed to focus on themes of help seeking, hope, resilience and the positive outcomes of reaching out for support.
