Be You is a national mental health in education initiative that equips teachers and educators with knowledge, tools and resources to support the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people in Australia.
Delivered by Beyond Blue, in collaboration with Early Childhood Australia and headspace, this free initiative also supports early learning services to work towards a whole learning community approach to mental health.
Early childhood teachers and educators
Educator wellbeing is at the heart of caring for children and young people.
There are a range of professional learning modules and tools available through the initiative to help early childhood teachers and educators develop their mental health skills and knowledge. These include tools to help you reflect on stressors, encourage help-seeking behaviour, and plan how to support your wellbeing.
To register as an individual, visit the Be You registration page on the Beyond Blue website.

Early learning services
Be You also offers an effective model for implementing a whole-learning community approach to mental health and wellbeing.
A Be You Learning Community is a school or early childhood education and care service that has committed to a whole-learning community approach to mental health and wellbeing. It has strong support from leadership, with an action team leader and team ready to drive change.
This approach makes a powerful statement to the wider community about your commitment to promoting mental health and wellbeing.
To help you lead, create and sustain positive change, you'll have access to a variety of Be You supports, tools and resources.
For the list of available tools, visit Educator wellbeing tools.
