Trusted by schools across Australia and internationally
Because wellbeing shouldn't be another thing bolted onto an already full timetable…
Most wellbeing programs are positioned separate to the more traditional, academic aspects of the curriculum, often in the form of a stand-alone, weekly wellbeing lesson.
Visible Wellbeing is different.
It’s based on the well-established research finding that wellbeing and learning go hand in hand, and that one cannot flourish without the other.
Visible Wellbeing is a series of evidence-based practices, all aligned to the SEARCH Wellbeing Framework, built into the way teachers already teach, so wellbeing becomes the foundation of every lesson, and sits at the core of school culture.
Independent research evaluations examining the effectiveness of Visible Wellbeing, along with reports from staff in Visible Wellbeing schools, demonstrate that the approach supports stronger staff and student resilience, facilitates the creation of a shared language around strengths and emotions.
Visible Wellbeing enables a whole-school culture shift towards wellbeing that outlasts any single program or initiative.
Choose the right fit

BACKED BY SCIENCE
The SEARCH Framework
The SEARCH Wellbeing Framework is the culmination of 25+ years’ worth of research from Professor Lea Waters combined with experience in the field, an analysis of over 18,000 peer-reviewed journal articles examining impactful wellbeing interventions, and action research in Australian schools.
When your staff are trained in the Visible Wellbeing approach, they will become equipped with the knowledge and practices to bring each pathway of the SEARCH Framework to life across all areas of the school.
Testimonials
“
Visible Wellbeing is a fantastic approach to ensure that our efforts at creating a successful school climate where every student feels safe, secure and supported are actually working.
More than that, Visible Wellbeing gives us a whole school approach with a framework, drawn on Lea’s vast experience, to leverage our students’ strengths, providing data and validity to a process enabling our school to nurture each of our students to flourish.
In short – it works, well!
