HeadsUp! Year 7 - Navigating New Beginnings - Transition

The HeadsUp! initiative constitutes a stepped-care intervention meticulously designed to normalise our discussions in the classroom surrounding mental health literacy from an early age and proactively address mental health issues. Consisting of classroom-based lessons covering the theory of mental health, physical exercises, group discussion and collaboration, tips for students to identify their thoughts and feelings about mental well-being and mental health issues. This is not just a series of “off the shelf” lessons, but a journey. The programme uses unique culturally based characters to engage and encourage participation of students to be as impactful as possible in a school context.
