Student Mental Health and Wellbeing with Smiling Mind

Smiling Mind is a not-for-profit organisation with a mission to provide accessible, lifelong tools to support healthy minds.  Headed by CEO Dr Addie Wooten, the organisation is well versed in supporting the mental health of young Australians. Smiling Mind currently delivers critical mindfulness training to educators across the country through its award-winning School Program, where teachers are empowered to be champions for fostering positive mental health among their students. In its latest initiative promoting positive mental health among young Australians, Smiling Mind has launched its Care Packs initiative - a new, free resource aimed at supporting Australian children as they deal with COVID-19 related challenges. Dr Addie joins me to talk about how Smiling Mind is supporting primary-aged children with their mental health and wellbeing. Do you love For the Love of Teaching?
