Mentoring

Providing positive role models is one of the single most powerful ways to foster healthy lifestyle choices in children. Role models support the development of attitudes and competencies that foster self and social awareness and the abilities to manage one’s own and others’ emotions and behaviour, make responsible decisions, and nurture positive relationships.

Kids need role models they can relate to

Our guided videos are delivered by relatable community role models.

These role models are friendly, relatable and represent a diverse cross-section of our community. They value their mental and physical health and encourage young people to do the same.

Success looks different for everyone

Our role models are as diverse as our students because every child deserves to see themselves in their mentors.

Help kids grow with practical life tips

At the end of every Body Set video, our relatable role models share a wellbeing tip.

Students can take action each day, and every day of their lives, to support their mental and physical health.

Wellbeing tips include practical goals and quotes that can be written on the board and discussed as a class. These tips can also inspire more complex discussions about mental and physical wellbeing.

“There are so many amazing Role Models featured! It shows the kids that you could have any job in the world but you still need to maintain fitness and your mental wellbeing. I believe this is what makes you a whole person and it is really beneficial that the kids are learning this on a daily basis through the program.

“Once the students have listened to the Role Models tip, I have been asking them to create their own tip. I want them to start piecing together what they think can help other people. Especially if they are not great at physical activity, they are able to work together and help others in something they themselves embrace.”
