Why My Mind Check - My Mind Check

Supporting youth mental health

What do student mental health check-ins mean for schools and students?

1 in 7 young people have a mental health disorder^[1]. 89% don’t get the help they need.

My Mind Check allows schools to access actionable insights into student wellbeing. The aim of the platform is to prevent young people with diagnosable mental health disorders from slipping between the cracks.

What is My Mind Check?

My Mind Check is a free, voluntary and evidence-based digital tool designed for Australian schools to conduct mental health and wellbeing check-ins with their students. Importantly, My Mind Check is not a diagnostic tool. Instead, it enables students to self-report on aspects of their mental health and wellbeing, identifying areas where they feel positive and areas where they may benefit from more support.

How is My Mind Check different from other wellbeing tools?

Most school-based wellbeing tools cost schools’ money and rarely measure both mental health and wellbeing. Moreover, they typically do not include all year levels. My Mind Check is free, measures mental health and wellbeing for students from all year levels and generates immediate individual student outcomes (with follow–up guidelines) on both mental health and wellbeing.

What is involved for my school?

The School Principal first registers their school. Schools then determine whether they will conduct check-ins for the whole school (recommended) or for specific year levels. Check-ins are then carried out during school hours with students answering a series of age-appropriate questions reflecting their current mental health and wellbeing.

Following a check-in, nominated school staff members (known as School Champions) review School Dashboards and Student Dashboards within the My Mind Check portal. For students experiencing difficulties, the tool provides follow-up guidance to assist the school in their support of the student.

My Mind Check supports proactive mental health safety for schools.
