Description

Aussie Optimism is an evidence-based mental health promotion program that provides schools and families with practical information and strategies. The programs are mapped to the national curriculum for HPE and are designed to be run in schools, with whole classes in a school term. Aussie Optimism is a resilience program that can help all children build coping skills and self-esteem. The programs can also reduce and prevent anxiety and depression symptoms.

Why Aussie Optimism?

Children and Adolescents often experience stress, for example peer pressure, family conflict, moving from primary school to high school, increased demands of study, performance expectations and body changes. Children and adolescents cannot always be protected from stress, however, they can be provided with the skills necessary to cope with stress and to rise above life’s difficulties and challenges.

The Aussie Optimism: Social Life Skills program is developmentally appropriate for students in years 5 to 6.

How can my school run the Aussie Optimism Programs?

Teachers and school staff are required to attend a one-day training workshop for each program they would like to run.
