KidsMatter - Australian Primary Schools Health Initiative

All schools now have access to the KidsMatter Programs Guide on the KidsMatter website. The Guide was developed to assist schools in making informed choices when selecting programs that target children’s mental health and wellbeing. The Guide provides evaluative information for over 70 school-based mental health programs that can be used to support KidsMatter components. It provides extended information for each program, including its target audience, evidence base, and contact details for how to obtain the program. Schools can consult the Guide when selecting new or additional programs to implement in their school or to assess programs which are currently being used.

The KidsMatter Program’s Guide complements the full range of KidsMatter information resources, the KidsMatter Overview booklet and the KidsMatter eNewsletter, available to all school staff, parents and carers, and members of the community on the KidsMatter website.
