The National Education Initiative is due to launch in late 2018. The Initiative, led by beyondblue with the support of Early Childhood Australia and headspace, will help educators know what to look out for when kids start to struggle, where to turn for help, and how to look after their own mental health.

The initiative includes online and on-the-ground professional development, support, and advice on how to build a mentally healthy school and early learning service community. It will also help schools to support those experiencing a mental health issue and provide crisis support in the event a secondary school community experiences a suicide.

With one in seven children in Australia experiencing a mental health condition in the past 12 months, and half of all mental health issues emerging before the age of 14, this webinar will be useful for anyone involved in education delivery and policy, including professional educators, parents, and carers.

beyondblue CEO Georgie Harman will provide information on the initiative and take questions. The webinar is free for ARACY Members, $25+GST for non-members.
