Caring for Students - Kids Matter

KidsMatter Primary is a flexible, whole-school approach to improving children’s mental health and wellbeing for primary schools. It can be tailored to schools' local needs.

Through KidsMatter Primary, schools undertake a two-to three-year cyclical process in which they plan and take action to be a positive community; one that is founded on respectful relationships and a sense of belonging and inclusion,  and that promotes:

• social and emotional learning (including evidence-based social and emotional learning programs)
• working authentically with parents, carers and families
• support for students who may be experiencing mental health difficulties.
