Are you currently studying Certificate III, Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care or School Age Education and Care and Education Support qualifications?

You may have heard other educators talk about Be You in a staff meeting, while on placement, or perhaps it was mentioned in a class?

Maybe you’ve heard it’s a mental health initiative and now you want to know what it offers you in your future career?

Let’s start with the essentials 

If you explore the Be You website you’ll quickly see;

  • Who Be You is for

  • Be You’s vision

Does our vision align with your career goals? 

Do you want to work in and help build an education system where learning communities are positive, inclusive and resilient and where every child, staff member and family can achieve their best possible mental health?

What do you get if you register?
