ACEL and Headspace Schools & Communities are partnering together to develop a nationally consistent mental health and wellbeing initiative for school leaders and their staff. Supported by our key association stakeholders, we’re inviting all school leaders across Australia to help shape a groundbreaking national pilot.
What is Reflective Practice for school leaders and teams
Reflective practice enables school leaders to critically examine personal experiences, decisions and professional practice within a highly supportive and focused framework. They are safe, structured conversations, led by experienced facilitators, and recognised as a highly effective practice for professionals in high-pressure, complex environments. Reflective practice safeguards wellbeing, identifies practical strategies to mitigate longer term adverse impacts and reduces the likelihood of psychosocial impacts such as burnout and compassion fatigue.
How can you support this national pilot?
School leaders are invited to register their expressions of interest in accessing future Reflective Practice sessions designed for school leaders. Reflective practice sessions can be adapted to broader education and wellbeing staff.
By registering your interest, you’ll be advocating for the demand to increase mental health and wellbeing supports for Australian school leaders, wellbeing staff and educators.
