Resources for educators

Emerging Minds resources are created for professionals and families who are interested in learning more about how to support children’s mental health, development and wellbeing. The courses and resources on this page have been created for early childhood, primary and secondary school educators, pre-service teachers and out-of-school-hours-care educators.

Outside of the home, children spend the most amount of time in education settings. This means that, as an educator, you’re in a unique position to shape children’s mental health and development by creating safe, supportive and nurturing environments and relationships.

Explore the following resources to find out more about ways you can support children’s mental health and wellbeing.
