My research focuses on wellbeing education programs in industry partnerships with schools. We provide a bridge between busy schools and universities to navigate the dizzying array of wellbeing programs on offer in a structured and effective way.

Targeting key protective factors for mental health, we

• source or develop programs that fit a school's context, building on what already works where possible
• reinforce key ideas over multiple years
• scaffold application to age-relevant issues
• develop consistent language across the school community and
• collect local school data to inform choice and measure outcomes
