School Workshops

Nurtured State offers evidence-informed mental health workshops and educational programs for schools and community organisations. Our workshops are designed to support the wellbeing of young people while providing practical knowledge and strategies for students, parents, and educators. We aim to create engaging, safe, and thoughtful learning environments where young people can explore important topics related to emotional wellbeing, identity, relationships, and mental health. Our programs are grounded in current psychological research and delivered by experienced clinicians.

Student Workshops

We offer workshops for students from Year 7 and above, with all content carefully tailored to the developmental stage and needs of the group. Sessions are interactive, respectful, and designed to encourage thoughtful discussion and reflection.

Workshop topics may include:

  • Body image and self-esteem

  • Sport, nutrition, and healthy relationships with food

  • Understanding eating disorders

  • Social media and mental health

  • Managing stress and emotions

  • Building resilience and self-compassion

  • Identity and adolescent development

Workshops can be delivered in mixed groups or single-sex groups, depending on the preferences of the school and the nature of the topic.

Parent Education Sessions

Supporting young people often involves supporting the adults around them. We offer parent education sessions that provide practical information and guidance to help families understand and respond to common adolescent mental health challenges.

Parent workshops may explore topics such as:

  • Supporting adolescents with body image concerns

  • Understanding eating disorders and early warning signs

  • Navigating social media and mental health

  • Supporting emotional wellbeing during adolescence

These sessions aim to help parents feel more confident in supporting their young person.

Professional Learning for School Staff

We also provide professional development workshops for teachers, wellbeing staff, and school leaders. These sessions focus on increasing confidence in recognising and responding to student wellbeing concerns.

Topics may include:

  • Understanding body image concerns in adolescents

  • Recognising and responding to eating disorders in school settings

  • Supporting students experiencing anxiety or emotional distress

  • Creating supportive and psychologically safe learning environments

  • Sport, nutrition, and promoting healthy relationships with food

Our Approach

At Nurtured State, we understand that discussing topics such as body image, identity, and mental health requires care and sensitivity. Our workshops prioritise psychological safety, inclusion, and respect for diverse experiences. Programs are delivered in a neuroaffirming and inclusive way, ensuring students feel safe, supported, and able to participate in ways that feel comfortable for them.
