Building Momentum at School

An 8-Week Intensive Program Based on the Five Ways to Wellbeing

Building resilience, connection, and wellbeing in young people.

At Momentum Mental Health, we know that young people thrive when they feel connected, supported, and empowered. Our Youth Wellbeing Program is an engaging eight-week intensive designed for school-aged young people, grounded in the Five Ways to Wellbeing: Connect, Be Active, Be Aware, Keep Learning, and Give.

Each student receives tailored and flexible support based on their individual needs, helping schools provide early intervention and targeted wellbeing support. Our approach can include:

• Individual case management and mentoring
• Creative and therapeutic group programs
• School re-engagement and transition pathways
• Trauma-informed counselling through Mindware Psychology
• Intensive youth support delivered by qualified Momentum Mental Health youth workers

This holistic approach helps students build resilience, strengthen connections, and improve emotional wellbeing both at school and in the community.
