Wellbeing tools
Educator wellbeing
Educator wellbeing is a key part of a mentally healthy learning community. The Educator wellbeing page offers a range of resources to help you manage your wellbeing and help build a mentally healthy workplace.
Here, you’ll find educator wellbeing tools that can help you reflect on your stressors, promote help-seeking behaviour, and support your wellbeing and that of your colleagues.
Wellbeing Tools for Students

These tools are designed to help young people learn about mental health and wellbeing, and practise the skills to look after their wellbeing. The tools also contain useful strategies for when young people, or their peers, are struggling.
