Empowering Minds, Healing Hearts: Join EducaidAU on the Journey to Mental Wellness.
Immerse in our transformative Programs, fostering resilient foundations, nurturing emotional intelligence, and creating a supportive community for holistic well-being among youth in educational environments.
As a science high school teacher, I was always passionate about mentoring and talking to young people from migrant and refugee backgrounds about their wellbeing. It was only until I started to put ‘pieces of the puzzle’ together did I realise the prevalence and struggle of young people and the unspoken impacts of mental health struggles. After completing a course in mental health first aid in 2017, I realised that being equipped with skills and a framework to assist others was key.
Using my passion for education and pedagogy, I quickly came to realise that education is an important vehicle in breaking down stigmas and taboos in my both my communities. Five years on, and having worked in the mental health space in workplace, community and school settings inmental health and suicide prevention, Educaid is seeking to create a movement that will change the narrative around mental health and wellbeing in culturally diverse and religious communities.

EducAID Au was established to meet the dire need of educating and equipping communities, in particular culturally diverse communities, with regards to Mental Health. This follows an important rise of Mental Health associated illnesses and their prevalence in society. Equipping communities with Mental Health First Aid ensures a unique skill set that transforms the way community members think and behave in their different spheres of life.
EducAID AU is also committed to growing people who are well rounded, resilient, and are able to withstand the current pressures of the world we live in. We seek to create a citizen
factory of people who come out with the comprehensive skills and tools to tackle and deal with challenges of life and society. A main focus is involves increasing mental health literacy amongst culturally diverse and faith-based schools and communities.
