Challenges and solutions at school.

  • Mental health.

    In 2020, one third of Australian young people (34%) report high or very high levels of psychological distress. Surveys found that the number of young people reporting poor mental health or wellbeing because of study stress has doubled from 25 per cent in previous years to 56 per cent this year

  • Anxiety at school.

    On average teens are spending one-third of their study time feeling stressed, anxious, or stuck. 38% of those aged 15-17 said they were experiencing high or very high rates of psychological distress

  • Stress related health.

    Approximately 35 percent of American children experience stress-related health problems. According to many psychologists, pediatricians, and health care providers, experiencing stress in children plays a major role in increasing physical, mental and social problems

  • Emotional wellbeing.

    Students experience less disciplinary incidents, can concentrate better on academics, and develop stronger communication skills, when schools foster emotional well-being

  • Academic performance.

    When schools foster emotional well-being, this can lead to greater academic performance and lifelong health

  • Better decisions.

    Wellbeing is linked to improved academic achievement, enhanced mental health and responsible life choices
