Wellbeing

To support the mental health and wellbeing of years 10-12 students completing VCE and VCAL this year, the Victorian Government has partnered with mindfulness program Smiling Mind to create a series of videos called Feeling It!

Young people feature in each video and share strategies about self-care, understanding and managing emotions, being mindful, the importance of positive study and sleep habits, being kind to yourself, navigating uncertainty and preparing for change.

Four of six episodes and accompanying student tip sheets and mindfulness meditations are now live. To access the meditations students will need to register for the free Smiling Mind App. 

Resources for students can be accessed from the Victorian Government’s Coronavirus (COVID-19) advice for students page. 

Remaining episodes will be released over the coming weeks to support students as they complete their exams and start considering their future study and employment opportunities.
