Introducing our new student incursion - MENTAL HEALTH HEROES

This incursion is designed for schools that are currently implementing the Aussie Optimism program. We explore the ways you can be a "mental health hero" - being strong inside, overcoming challenges, and helping others.

Thank you to Bramfield Park Primary for having us pilot this workshop at your school!
