Decode in the News: The Educator Australia Jan 23
Across Australia, the youth mental health crisis is overwhelming schools, many of which are already overburdened with worsening staff shortages and rising workloads.
Surveys conducted in the wake of the COVID-19 found many schools are struggling to provide critical mental health support to young people who have been impacted by the disruption caused by the pandemic.
“EP has launched the new Decode Mental Health & Wellbeing program to help educate teachers on mental health literacy and provide high quality resources for the classroom.
The resources are fully developed and are designed to help teachers build confidence in understanding and teaching what is good mental health (and what poor looks like), how to foster it, when to be concerned and when to support.
This is in partnership with Matterworks, a social edutainment studio and powered by research from Murdoch Childrens Research Institute, a global leader in child health and Australia’s most influential. It is recognised in the top three child health research institutes worldwide for research quality and impact.”
