School Mental Health Services
Our unique Co-Therapy Model involves both a senior psychologist and a provisional psychology student working together to provide high-quality mental health support in your school.
1) Initial Assessment
Each student receives a personalised treatment plan based on their individual mental health needs. Our provisional psychologists collaborate with school staff to tailor the support strategies to fit your school’s environment.
2) Ongoing Support
We offer continuous, data-driven support, including monthly progress updates, to ensure that your school wellbeing community stays informed and engaged in the process.
3) Training & Development
We equip school staff with evidence-based tools and strategies to foster mental health within the school community, increasing the overall capacity of the education workforce.
Benefits of mental health services in schools

Improved Accessibility
Enhanced Academic Performance
Comprehensive Support Networks
Early Identification and Intervention
Improved School Environment
We have found the service to be really helpful, particularly as we were finding it hard to employ a Psych on staff.
