Impact Story

Project Air Strategy for Schools
Summary
The importance of intervening early for young people with complex mental health difficulties has been recommended by research and clinical guidelines. The school environment offers an ideal opportunity for early identification and intervention. Project Air Strategy for Schools is a collaborative partnership between NSW Ministry of Health and NSW Department of Education and Project Air Strategy at the University of Wollongong. Together we developed a whole of school framework and provided guidelines, accredited training, resources and opportunities to collaborate together as educational professionals, targeted at enhancing their identification, understanding and capacity to respond to complex mental health issues, such as personality disorder and associated behaviours such as self-harm. Research undertaken pre and post program implementation demonstrated improvements in education professionals confidence, knowledge and skills in working with young people with complex mental health issues. The intervention also improved the capacity of schools to plan and implement strategies to reduce the impact of mental health problems on the young person and their peers. A stay-at-school psychological care approach was fostered by enhancing partnerships between class teachers and school counsellors.

Impact Story

Project Air Strategy for Schools
Summary
The importance of intervening early for young people with complex mental health difficulties has been recommended by research and clinical guidelines. The school environment offers an ideal opportunity for early identification and intervention. Project Air Strategy for Schools is a collaborative partnership between NSW Ministry of Health and NSW Department of Education and Project Air Strategy at the University of Wollongong. Together we developed a whole of school framework and provided guidelines, accredited training, resources and opportunities to collaborate together as educational professionals, targeted at enhancing their identification, understanding and capacity to respond to complex mental health issues, such as personality disorder and associated behaviours such as self-harm. Research undertaken pre and post program implementation demonstrated improvements in education professionals confidence, knowledge and skills in working with young people with complex mental health issues. The intervention also improved the capacity of schools to plan and implement strategies to reduce the impact of mental health problems on the young person and their peers. A stay-at-school psychological care approach was fostered by enhancing partnerships between class teachers and school counsellors.
