Evidence

Be You is evidence-informed and has been designed by mental health professionals and academics as well as educators, and we continue to improve our resources based on feedback from schools, early learning services and educators.

Be You is based on evidence that a whole-setting approach, which recognises the importance of positive environments and intentional teaching of social and emotional learning skills and competencies, is most effective to promote mental health, resilience and wellbeing in schools and early learning settings.
