Testing the While You Wait Program

We’ve now completed the trial phase with young people aged 13 to 19, who helped us explore whether While You Wait is something they like and whether it supports their mental health.

Working with our partners at Headspace, we managed to facilitate the program to 70 young people in Perth. Thank you to everyone who took part — your feedback has been incredibly valuable 💜.

Testing a mental health program takes lots of planning and preparation. As researchers, we worked hard to make sure everything was done safely, fairly, and ethically. At the moment we are currently evaluating the program as it's been implemented at Headspace centres across WA.
