This Student Handbook is required for students participating in The Successful Mind for School, Work and Life course.

Accepting Myself. How to Help Young People Feel Worthwhile No Matter What (ages 9 -16+)
This program includes 12-month access to a three-part, online eLearning program that takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete.
Accepting Myself is not a game but a engaging, innovative social and emotional eLearning student intervention program. Set in outer space, students select one of two avatars to guide them through the universe.
Throughout each of the three parts, students engage with interactive and fun activities that help to personalise and teach the ABCs of self-acceptance.
As a result of participating in the program, students will develop a capacity to change self-criticism (taking things personally) to self-acceptance.
Bullying – The Power to Cope (years 4 – 9)
Based on the latest research in cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) this program was developed to meet a need.
This program helps students when being teased or bullied to re-structure their stress-creating, extremely negative self-talk (ways of thinking) to more moderate, less stress-producing self-talk.
Students learn the importance of not taking anti-social behaviour personally and that they can tolerate different forms of bullying, including cyber-bullying.
Published research conducted at the University of Melbourne shows the program’s powerful impact.
