KidsMatter – KidsMatter is an Australian mental health and wellbeing initiative set in primary schools and in early childhood education and care services. It’s not a program, but a framework that Mumbulla School adopts that helps take care of the mental health needs of children by focusing on:
- creating positive school and early childhood communities
- teaching children skills for good social and emotional development
- working together with families
- recognising and getting help for children with mental health problems.
KidsMatter Primary provides the methods, tools and support to help our school work with parents and carers, health services and the wider community, to nurture happy, balanced kids. The KidsMatter website is a wonderful resource for parents too! If you have any concerns regarding your child’s mental health or just have a few questions don’t hesitate to speak to our counsellor – please email on counsellor@mumbullaschool.com.au or contact the Front Office.
