At Centacare Southwest NSW (CCSWNSW), we believe in “Wellbeing for all”.  Centacare’s School Wellbeing Program is a whole school approach designed to promote positive relationships amongst students, families and schools to enable students to be healthy, happy, engaged and successful. We work alongside teaching staff, parents and students to assist with the implementation of social and emotional wellbeing programs that enhance wellbeing. Centacare is excited to be able to offer the new School Wellbeing Program to Public and Independent schools in The Murrumbidgee Health Local Area.

Centacare can provide a range of services based on the needs of your school community. We work collaboratively with you in identifying any wellbeing gaps by completing a needs analysis of your school community whilst working with your school’s unique strengths. We are specialists in student mental health and wellbeing and provide a range of services in schools that include:

• Collaboration with the school’s existing wellbeing team to plan for and deliver targeted services to enhance student wellbeing and resilience
• Providing consultation advice, support, and guidance to schools regarding all aspects of student and teacher wellbeing
