Psychologists use their professional knowledge of psychological interventions and treatments to deliver appropriate and tailored therapeutic intervention to support students' mild to moderate mental health concerns.
Applying their understanding of the mental health continuum, psychologists identify when students require additional mental health support outside of the school context, making referrals to external agencies and providing assistance to ensure students access this additional support.
They also work with other wellbeing and school staff to develop strategies to support students in the classroom and wider school community.
