    • Not Okay – Mental Health

    Youth Mental Health Program in School

    Developed in partnership with Telethon, Not Okay commences with the screening of a short film that follows Sam as he experiences depression and mental ill-health for the first time. Sam is not okay, but he doesn’t know why. His family and friends know something is wrong, but they don’t know how to help.

    Utilising Forum Theatre and engaging, interactive learning, Not Okay unpacks Sam’s journey and looks at what to do when someone who was once popular, sporty, and smart, starts skipping school, quits the football team, and avoids friends.

    Not Okay empowers upper primary and secondary students to:

    • explore and understand the early signs of mental illness
    • recognise the signs of mental ill-health in themselves, peers, and family
    • appropriately support those in need and encourage help seeking behaviours
    • seek support for themselves and where to find it
    • destigmatise mental illness in their communities

    Why choose our
    Upper Primary Incursions?

    As students transition toward greater independence, the challenges they face become more social and digital. Our live theatre programs for Upper Primary are designed to bridge the gap between childhood safety and adolescent responsibility. By using professional actors and realistic scenarios, we tackle issues like cyber-safety, friendship boundaries, and mental health with a maturity that respects their growing intelligence while remaining firmly age-appropriate and curriculum-aligned.

    Our unique ‘theatre-in-education’ approach allows students to witness the consequences of choices in a safe, controlled environment. We move beyond simple lectures to foster empathy and critical thinking, helping students navigate the shift to high school with a toolkit of practical strategies. With Constable Care, your students don’t just learn about safety – they practice the resilience and decision-making skills required for the real world.
