Donna has an international reputation for developing school and community-based interventions to enhance social and emotional development and reduce anti-social behaviour among children and young people.\n\nIn 2023\, Donna’s work with schools focussed on understanding the characteristics and elements of effective whole-of-school approaches to wellbeing. This year\, Donna will build on this work and lead participants to enact sustainable change. The focus of these workshops will be to explore a school’s readiness to implement\, the process of de-implementation and how to map current practice.\n\nOver the two days\, participants will examine approaches\, policies\, and practices\, using the foundations of the AISSA Wellbeing Toolkit\, to leave with a plan that will support effective implementation at the school. Join us for this opportunity to work with Donna and be supported to implement real and lasting impact for the wellbeing of students\, staff\, and school leaders. We warmly welcome those who will be joining us for the first time and those who will be reengaging with Donna.\n\nThis is a series.

Many school staff wellbeing initiatives that address high levels of work-related stress are well-intentioned but often focus only on boosting morale. While this is a useful starting point\, to be effective staff wellbeing strategies need to be embedded in school culture and prioritised to ensure they are adequately funded and resourced.\n\nJoin Professor Donna Cross OAM\, respected behavioural scientist and Emeritus Professor at the University of Western Australia as she presents two dynamic webinars unpacking quality national and international evidence showing the benefits and value of schools actively engaging families in the development of students’ learning and wellbeing. These benefits include students’ higher academic achievement\, increased confidence and motivation\, improved school attendance\, enhanced wellbeing and mental health\, higher likelihood of graduation\, improved positive attitudes about school and improved behaviour.\n\nThe first one-hour webinar ‘Empowering school staff wellbeing: Strategies for success’ will address systematic evidence-driven strategies and considerations for improving school staff wellbeing that address organisational and interpersonal factors\, not just individual coping skills. It will address the importance of:\n\n a holistic approach to all staff wellbeing that includes systemic change\n the role of leadership\n mental health promotion and support\n self-care and wellbeing initiatives tailored to the needs of staff.\n\nThe second webinar ‘Enhancing school staff’s positive engagement with students and families’ will provide a brief overview of evidence-based practical strategies found to improve partnerships and positive engagement with families to support students’ wellbeing\, and therefore achievement.  It will also briefly address actions that can be taken to support school staff when parent relationships may not be positive. \n\nEnquiries: please contact Rae Dawkins.\n\nTerms and Conditions: Registration for this series will incur the fee detailed above.
