Understanding My Wellbeing
Mental health literacy, recognising wellbeing needs and understanding appropriate help-seeking pathways.
For schools, students and education communities
Student wellbeing skills for school and beyond
MindLinkNZ supports schools with a structured eight-session Student Wellbeing Skills Program for Years 5–12, alongside digital wellbeing resources, early-support pathways and privacy-aware school administration tools.
Structured school program
Eight connected sessions—not just a wellbeing app
The program is designed for Tier 1 universal and Tier 2 targeted delivery. Each session includes learning objectives, a 45–60 minute lesson flow, student activities, facilitator guidance, safeguarding boundaries and a defined takeaway.
Understanding Emotions
Recognising emotions, building emotional vocabulary and practising healthy regulation strategies.
Managing Stress & Difficult Thoughts
Practical coping skills for stress, pressure and difficult thoughts, with clear boundaries between education and clinical care.
Building Resilience
Problem-solving, responding to setbacks, perseverance and identifying personal strengths and supports.
Relationships & Belonging
Connection, communication, respectful relationships, belonging and recognising healthy sources of support.
Bullying, Cyber Safety & Healthy Boundaries
Healthy boundaries, safer online behaviour, bullying awareness and knowing when and how to seek adult support.
Learning, Motivation & Confidence
Learning readiness, motivation, confidence, realistic goals and strategies for managing school-related challenges.
My Wellbeing & Future Plan
Bringing skills together into a personal wellbeing plan covering strengths, goals, support networks and next steps.
Implementation support
Built for consistent delivery and measurable improvement
Schools can create Tier 1 or Tier 2 cohorts, allocate students, follow facilitator guidance, record lesson completion and use consistent pre/post program measures. School administrators can monitor program delivery while confidential individual support information remains protected.
Prepare→Deliver→Track→Measure→Improve
Safeguarding by design
Wellbeing education with clear support boundaries
For students
Students are not required to disclose personal mental-health experiences in lessons. The program focuses on practical knowledge and skills, with appropriate pathways to trusted adults and professional support when needed.
For schools
Facilitator guidance includes safeguarding and escalation expectations. The program is preventative wellbeing education and does not replace individual therapy, diagnosis, emergency services or a school's safeguarding obligations.
