My Mind Check - Years 5 and Year 11
Did you know that mental health is one of the top three most important issues to young people in Australia today? That’s why we’re pleased to introduce My Mind Check, a new student mental health and wellbeing check-in tool for Australian schools, developed by youth mental health experts and funded by the Australian Government. Select year levels will be invited to participate in 30-minute check-in sessions here at school, under supervision by school staff. They will use a computer or tablet to respond to age-appropriate questions about how they’re feeling and skip any questions they don’t want to answer. Only certain school staff will review their check-in outcomes and follow up on any identified needs. Why My Mind Check? · It gives our students a voice about their mental health and wellbeing and helps to build their mental health literacy. · It is evidence based; built for Australian schools from research and clinical studies by Macquarie University (Sydney). · It guides schools and families to helpful information and resources for each mental health and wellbeing topic included in the check-in, making it easy for us to learn more and consider next steps. · It meets strict Commonwealth privacy and security standards and is supported by independent security evaluation. My Mind Check is not a clinical assessment of mental health. Instead, it gives us insights into the wellbeing of each student and of our collective school community. There are no costs, and participation is voluntary. Check-in sessions for students in Year 5 and Year 11 will commence in Week 3 for Year 5 and Week 5 for Year 11, of Term 4. We’re committed to supporting our students and ensuring they have the resources they need to thrive. Stay tuned for details! To learn more about My Mind Check, visit mymindcheck.org.au. |
