About Kids Matter

OLD School is implementing the Kids Matter Framework.

KidsMatter is an Australian mental health and wellbeing initiative set in primary schools and in early childhood education and care services – like preschools, kindergartens and day care centres.

It’s not a program, but a framework that helps these places take care of all their mental health needs by focusing on:

• creating positive school and early childhood communities
• teaching children skills for good social and emotional development
• working together with families
• recognising and getting help for children with mental health problems.
