VWB Professional Development
Keynotes and workshops that bring wellbeing science to life
Kick-start your wellbeing strategy
Whether you need a single powerful session or a half-day deep dive, our team delivers practical, evidence-based sessions for your whole school community
A Great Place to Start
Perfect for building excitement and buy-in ahead of enrolling your school in the Visible Wellbeing Program, or taking a deep-dive into a wellbeing focus area based on your school’s needs.
Our professional development sessions are a great way to introduce your staff to the SEARCH Wellbeing Framework and the Visible Wellbeing approach.
Many schools use our professional development sessions as their first, introductory step into Visible Wellbeing, then progress forward and enrol in the Visible Wellbeing Program once they’ve seen the impact of our approach firsthand!
Workshop Topics
Positive Emotions in the Classroom
Calmer, more focused classrooms start with how students feel. Explore evidence-based strategies for building positive emotions into everyday teaching.

Small, science-backed strategies.
Big, whole-school gains.
Your staff will walk away from our professional development sessions with science-backed strategies that they can integrate into their teaching and classroom straight away.
They will also be introduced to the SEARCH Framework – one of the most well-researched and evaluated wellbeing frameworks in Australia, created by Visible Wellbeing founder, Professor Lea Waters.
Staff felt energised to try out some of the many activities provided to them and students across all year levels enjoyed the new ideas.
