    this is amazing, good find OP thanks!

  • theguyrules on 04/09/2019 - 09:23

    Huh, my partner is a teacher with Education QLD and their email doesn't work.

    EDIT: I need to read the OP properly. My bad. Thanks OP!

    doesn't include uni academics I think for Australia, UK and Canada

    • djthornton on 04/09/2019 - 09:43

      This makes me sad. Us uni academics need it bigtime, maybe they trust that we've done the research on how beneficial meditation is and so we are willing to pay for it.

    • nismo on 04/09/2019 - 11:24

      Correct, Tertiary is currently not included. Hoping it changes!

      If you are a primary or secondary educator in the UK, Canada, or Australia…

    Thanks for this, am currently using the 3 month trial of Headspace and have found it helpful. Will pass on to the rest of our school staff.

    This is great! Thanks for posting.

    I've passed this on to my colleagues and HR at my school (the irony being most of my mental stresses come from my colleagues and HR…)

    Shame not factoring in the most undervalued teachers we have in preschool as part of these programs. K-12 is great but early learning teachers are just as vital.

    • syousef on 04/09/2019 - 13:16

      Why is this comment getting downvoted?

        Thanks for demonstrating why Australia is falling behind. If you engage children early enough you can teach them all kinds of things in simplified form.

        Languages are actually better learnt the younger you are.

        And have you ever had to look after a dozen infants who weren't toilet trained?

          Just stating my opinion. My child starts reception next year and i have seen the difference between child care, early learning, kindergarten and honestly it's not all that different.

          Not trying to disrespect any of these workers because i know its a handful dealing with a lot of young kids, but purely in teaching i didn't see much difference between the first 2. kindergarten wasn't too bad.

          • sevendollarsfifty on 04/09/2019 - 13:32

            @Unrvl: There's an issue with semantics here. Not sure where you're from but
            Kindergarten in SA = Preschool in NSW
            Reception in SA = Kindergarten in NSW

            So when you say Kindergarten isn't too bad, that's probably the year level that xdivino is talking about.

        Regardless of whether this is true or not.. you go try babysitting 30 kids and let me know if Headspace might be beneficial.

      • biozet on 04/09/2019 - 14:31

        dominant discourses in society might be impacting your perceptions that university teachers are best while teachers of the young are the worstestest. maybe its a class thing…maybe its a specialised knowledge thing, maybe its Australian's prefer to generalise than think thing or maybe its a Australia is doomed thing. I'm not an educator…obviously. to educate means to draw out…not control or impart. surely the teachers of young people by any standard are the finest exponents of teaching the most important things you need to know. I used to think I must have taught myself to read ..and think ..and stuff…but some giver helped me do that while some taker got paid a fortune for dressing in monkey suit and regurgitating dominant discourses.'.

    This is perfect! Thank you OP. Passing this on to all the teachers I know.

    Would have thought doctors/nurses/emergency services who have a far higher rate of suicide and see far more traumatic events should be included.

    • Unrvl on 04/09/2019 - 13:13

      They would have even better free psychological care offered to them.

        Youd think so wouldn't you…

      • zoob on 05/09/2019 - 08:14

        That's news to me.

    A brief description of what this is would be helpful. Seems to be a meditation and lifestyle app. Is it targeted at teachers, or is it just the offer that is? How much is a subscription normally?

    Edit: If they ask for your credit card or Paypal, RUN.

      Ozbargain: The truth shall be downvoted.

      It is entirely appropriate to warn that others have had issues with unexpected charges, yet others question the usefulness of this, and ask what the actual saving is.

    There is also the Smiling Mind app as an alternative, which is free for everyone and created by Australian psychologists and educators

  • messiah1095 on 04/09/2019 - 19:45

    Got my code earlier, its for a 1 year subscription only which I guess is what they mean by annual. Might be worth updating the title.

  • Linnylin on 04/09/2019 - 22:43

    Works if you have a Working with Children Check Card.
    I’m not a registered educator, I used a personal email address (not a edu.vic.giv etc.). Listed my kids school and it worked.

    • kuwahshi on 05/09/2019 - 03:40

      Is that the only document you supplied? Also i have WWC check number but can't find any actual document that i could upload.

      • Linnylin on 05/09/2019 - 07:13

        Yes, it was the only document.

      • kuwahshi on 05/09/2019 - 07:14

        I worked it out - so for others:

        I signed up using my regular email and said i worked at to a school in my area. I provided the WWC form that i found had been emailed to me. My approval came through in about 45 minutes. Cheers.
