Whether you stopped by for a Mental Fitness Break, picked up one of our Annual Impact Reports, or had a conversation with the Smiling Mind team, we hope we got you thinking about what mental fitness could look like in your school.
Smiling Mind's Primary School Program helps Australian schools take a practical, evidence-informed approach to building the social and emotional skills that support students, educators and whole-school wellbeing.
Share your details and we'll provide you three ways to explore what's possible:
Receive our digital program brochure with an overview of the program, implementation approach, what's included, pricing and FAQs.
Receive an invitation to Creating Greater Impact Through SEL? What the evidence tells us about effective implementation in primary schools on Wednesday 9th September - Dr Addie Wootten from Smiling Mind will be exploring key insights behind what makes SEL programs really work. The many valuable takeaways will be shared after the session, so if you can’t make it, we recommend signing up anyway.
Connect with Allison, our School Programs Success Lead, for a complimentary conversation about your school's needs, priorities and current approach - and some practical ideas about where to focus next.
At Smiling Mind, mental fitness is about proactively supporting our emotional resilience, mental health and wellbeing. Like physical fitness, it’s not something we either have or don’t have — it’s something we can practise and strengthen over time.
If you tried one of our Mental Fitness Breaks at APPA, you experienced some of these skills in action — flexible thinking, recognising strengths, connection and savouring positive experiences.
For children, social and emotional learning provides the foundation for developing these skills early in life. Through regular practice, children build a toolkit that helps them understand themselves, connect with others, navigate difficult emotions and respond to challenges with greater resilience.
Our evidence-informed, whole-school approach helps children learn, practise and apply the social and emotional skills that build mental fitness — setting them up to thrive at school, at home and throughout life.
Smiling Mind's Primary School Program has been independently evaluated by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER).
