The YWSS connects students & their school's community to wellbeing service providers, skills and resources. It is a one-day event, from 8:30am to 3:00pm where students will participate in activities like listening to keynote speakers, engage in various interactive workshops, and ask all their burning questions in the Speed Wellbeing Networking session. 

The traditional expo event is a great way to meet people and service providers. The YWSS goes beyond the traditional approach as students and teachers are immersed in a day of forming connections and networking with a range of wellbeing service providers. Students will receive skills and resources to improve the wellbeing outcomes within their school's community. 

The event includes a student and teacher "Speed Wellbeing Networking" session, where service providers speak with the participants in small, focused groups for up to ten minutes each, the service providers discuss strategies to overcome challenges in key areas of life that affect young people's wellbeing. Through this, students will discover skills such as intervention strategies to reduce stress, anxiety, and uncertainty about the future and knowledge about professional support networks to overcome challenges. 

The aim of the Youth Wellbeing Success Summit is for students to walk away with confidence, skills, knowledge and resources to help themselves and their school's community to improve overall wellbeing. The Summit encourages schools to bring their student leaders who can share the information they gained with their peers and families.
