Why Wellbeing Matters
Australian data shows:
- 1 in 7 children (4–17) experience a mental health disorder each year — Australian Institute of Health and Welfare
- 1 in 4 young people report high or very high psychological distress — Australian Bureau of Statistics
- Teachers report increasing behavioural and emotional challenges post-COVID — Grattan Institute
Research shows that whole-school social and emotional wellbeing approaches can support improved wellbeing, stronger relationships, increased engagement, and more positive school cultures.
