Evaluation leads to increased awareness and understanding of mental health issues across all students. This in turn allows schools to develop and implement optimal well being and mental health programs. Effective programs lead to improved well being and reduced psychological distress in schools. These improvements, when regularly evaluated, resulted in an upwards spiral toward healthy happy living for all students.
Wise Solutions is run by experienced psychologists and research staff. Wise Solutions has been developed by Dr Helen Street and Neil Porter. Helen and Neil are involved in all aspects of the evaluation process. They work with the support of their Australian research team. Click HERE to go to "The WISE team".

Wise Solutions is designed specifically for use in schools
The Wise Solutions services have been designed with an understanding of the limited resources and time pressures on schools to-day. If you order the Complete Package, in addition to a full statistical analysis, you are provided with a clear, detailed report exploring welling and mental health across every year of your school.
If you order the High Risk Package, and assessment of all students provides you with an objective means of identifying individuals who are facing social and emotional problems.
We are also introducing separate evaluations of teaching staff.

Wise Solutions is vital for all schools running well being and mental health programs and interventions.
Teachers recognise the importance of developing well being and reducing social and emotional problems among children of all ages. However they often remain uncertain how to define and assess well being within the school environment. Moreover, many commercial programs remain unevaluated at either a national level, or within a schools. Objective mental health evaluation is needed to assess the effectiveness and sustainability of any approach to improving well being.
Schools are investing increasing amounts of time and money on in-house external programs designed to prevent psychological disorders and improve social and emotional welling. Wise Solutions enables schools to evaluate the effectiveness of their chosen interventions so that they can be secure in the knowledge that their time and money are well spent.
