Teach Mental Health skills using Authentic Peer voices.

Open Parachute is being used by over 350,000 students

If these struggles sound familiar, Open Parachute can help:

• Our students seem to struggle more than they used to
• It feels like we live in Tier 3 and are constantly putting out fires
• My school counselors don’t have time to see every student who needs support
• Teachers are misinterpreting students actions
• My staff is struggling and we need to support them

• We don't have a structured Universal Well-Being program
• My staff don't want to be given "another program"
• We don't know how to increase the resilience of our students
• My teachers worry they will say the wrong thing to a struggling student
• It feels like we never have enough support, despite having a lot of resources

Helping Great School Leaders Implement Innovative Well-being Programs

We are a team of clinical psychologists, program developers, educators, filmmakers and storytellers. Using our collective expertise, we create cutting-edge well-being programs using documentary films to engage and upskill students, parents and teachers in a way that has never been done before.

Founded by Dr. Hayley Watson

Hi, my name is Dr Hayley Watson. I’m a clinical psychologist with a PhD in school bullying interventions, and 15 years of experience developing and delivering school well-being programs.

When I was 2 years old, my house was bombed with dynamite. Every few months for a year and a half.

Well-being should be a right not a privilege. Every student deserves to learn skills that will help them reach their fullest potential.
