Early Support

Due to their close contact with children and young people, educators are in a powerful position to notice and support children and young people who might be showing signs of mental health issues.

Modules in this domain provide information and guidance on how to recognise behaviours which might indicate early signs of mental health issues, how to talk to children and young people about these issues, and how to provide appropriate and timely support.

Read the supporting evidence behind Early Support.


Accreditation and endorsement 

All registered teachers in every state and territory must ensure they have added their teacher registration number and state/territory 
to the My Profile page. 

Please see FAQs for more detail on the Be You Professional Learning upload process and time frames in which participants can expect their learning to be recorded with their relevant organisation.


In the ACT, completing Early Support will contribute three (3) hours of ACT Teacher Quality Institute (TQI) accredited professional learning addressing standard 4.4.2 Maintain Student Safety of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers. 



The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) is reviewing its process for endorsing professional development providers and courses. As part of this, NESA is not accrediting any professional development providers, including Be You, as of 30 November 2020.

Be You will reapply for accreditation once NESA has outlined the new accreditation application process.

For more information on logging Be You Professional Learning activities with NESA, please see this Be You FAQ: Can I use Be You Professional Learning to support my professional development requirements as a teacher?

For more information about changes to NESA PD visit: https://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/teacher-accreditation/professional-development/pd-requirements
