The Buildcorp Foundation is co-funding a $2.4million investment in preventative initiative the Smiling Mind Schools Program with the NSW Government.
By the end of Term 1 2021 the program aims to empower 140,313 school children and 7,766 teachers across 445 schools with mindfulness and foundational tools to strengthen their resilience and longer term mental health. [Note: numbers and timing were updated in late 2020 due to the expansion of the digital format of the program]
These two films below capture the progress of the program to date.
