Proven wellbeing support
Through rigorous evaluation, Journey of Hope has been shown to improve student social and emotional wellbeing, as well as knowledge and skills by:
- Equipping students to understand and normalise emotions, including those associated with traumatic stress
- Develop positive coping strategies to deal with their emotions
- Build on their innate strengths, empowering them to feel more in control over stressors
- Encouraging students to recognise and manage their emotions, which builds confidence, self-esteem, and ‘I believe I can’ attitudes
- Developing positive peer relationships, which help students experience a collaborative environment based on respect and understanding
- Reducing disruptive behaviours, which supports more concentrated learning in class.
"[Journey of Hope] was encouraging you to tell your story. You can be heard, and you don’t have to keep it in anymore. You can fix things and just stress less. I use these things at home" — Student, Journey of Hope participant, NSW
How it works
Fitting in with the timetable of your school, Journey of Hope sessions are delivered for one hour per group, once a week for eight consecutive weeks.* The eight sessions are tailored to the developmental needs of primary through to high school age children and young people and are aligned to the school curriculum. The program is implemented by trained facilitators in small groups of up to ten students. Multiple student groups can be supported in the one school or region. Each student group works with the same facilitators over the duration of the program.
Who benefits?
Journey of Hope is for students who require support understanding and normalising emotions. The service equips students to develop positive coping strategies to deal with these emotions, whilst empowering them to feel more in control over stressors.
Journey of Hope is tailored for six age groups:
Early Years – Kindergarten
Early Primary – Prep to Year 2
Upper Primary – Year 3 to 6
Early High – Year 7 to 9
Upper High – Year 10 to 12
*For older age groups, in Grades 11 and 12, the service will be adapted into fewer sessions to enable easy integration into the existing curricula.
