Why Invest in Early Intervention Mental Health Strategies
· Kids Helpline has reported a spike in calls to counselling services from 5-year-olds (Smith, R. 2021)
· Every 3 hours in Australia more than one person takes their life by way of suicide (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare,2020), and 15 more 12-17year olds make an attempt (Orygen, 2017).

We host online and face to face events. We visit your school and perform our specially-designed interactive workshops, which tackle important topics surrounding mental ill-health, such as depression and anxiety. We are also able to provide custom scripts for your community’s specific needs.

We have accredited programs designed for both Primary and High School aged students. Our programs are tailored to support each year group, covering different topics and developmental needs.

Testimonials

Below are some testimonials from school teachers, young people, mental health service providers, businesses and clients.

“You don’t just switch off and go off in your own little world….you’re actually paying attention to it and yeah, you’re interacting, like it’s not only you’re interacting but you’re learning and you’re finding out about something at the same time, too.”

Student

"It was good to have us interact with it as wellbecause I think interaction is a better way to take in information, because you’re giving information that you thinkis correct and getting it confirmed back at you sort of thing”

Student

""Talk is effective but performing hits you emotionally….and that’s a different level I think…It reaches a different path than your head, you need your heart and your head involved as well and that’s why it’s effective."

Teacher

“(When asked if the end message of the program was clear) “I asked some of my students what they got out of the performance and this is exactly what they said- there’s always someone to help - you just have to ask. You have to communicate if you want people to know how you feel and to
help you.”
