Catholic Education Office Mental Wellbeing Project: review of 2006 funding round

ABOUT THE MENTAL WELLBEING PROJECT The Catholic Education Office, Lismore Diocese, established the Mental Wellbeing Project with the aim of helping their school communities to better respond to and support the emotional and social wellbeing needs of their students and families. In 2006, almost $850,000 were distributed between the 44 schools in the Lismore Diocese. Acknowledging that students’ mental wellbeing can be enhanced through a wide variety of ways, schools were encouraged to review the needs and strengths of their students, families and staff to decide the best way to invest their Mental Wellbeing Project funding.
