What is a Be You Consultant?
Be You Consultants are experienced professionals with backgrounds in education and mental health.
They connect with and support registered early learning services and schools to guide their mental health and wellbeing journey. Be You Consultants from Early Childhood Australia bring sector-leading expertise in early childhood settings, while those from headspace provide specialist support for primary and secondary schools.
Be You Consultants bring trusted knowledge based on evidence and practical experience to help create lasting, positive change in your learning community.
Their role is to guide you in implementing Be You in a way that fits your unique setting and needs.
What Be You Consultants do
Be You Consultants work closely with a team of educators and leaders in your service or school to identify and implement mental health and wellbeing strategies that meet the unique needs of your setting.
They tailor their support to your goals, using Be You’s Implementation Cycle.
Support may include:
Identifying priorities such as enhancing mental health literacy, promoting educator wellbeing or strengthening inclusion practices
- Aligning Be You with national and state-based education requirements
- Providing ongoing support to navigate challenges and celebrate progress
- Recommending tools and resources for goal setting, action planning and reflection
- Guiding postvention response and recovery, where needed*
*Be You can provide postvention planning support to all Australian secondary and combined schools and can work with all schools in a postvention response (including primary schools).
In addition to everything else Be You offers, Consultant support is also available free of charge.
Why Be You Consultant support matters
“As educators, we often rush into action for quick results, but implementation science shows that planning is key for sustainable change. Your Be You Consultant supports you through the entire process.”
