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 are constantly putting out fires
  • My school counsellors don’t have time to see
    every student who needs support
  • Teachers are misinterpreting students actions
  • My teachers worry they will say the wrong thing to a struggling student
  • We don't have a structured Wellbeing program
  • Our current Wellbeing classes don't engage students​
  • We want to teach common language around Resilience across the different Year levels
  • My staff don't want to be given "another program"
  • We don't know how to increase the resilience of our students

"The online format makes it easy for educators to access quickly and easily. The video-based content is appealing to both teachers and students. The personal stories shared by students are engaging and credible. Having the kid’s ages in the videos similar to the students who are viewing them allows for students to see themselves and connect with the content in a real and meaningful way."

Prepare educators to run the program

Teachers can run the program in any class, wherever it fits best in each school setting. They receive a log-in to access all elements of the program. They watch a series of short onboarding videos, which fully prepares them to run the program in their classes.

A Resource for All Schools

Dr. Daniel To – Principal

“We were looking for a resource that really works for all of our schools and hits on a multitude of issues rather than a different resource for every issue…We want to have a resource that covers the breadth of everything but also the depth as well, which is why we chose Open Parachute…This sort of response and the research behind it is the best resource that we can give to students and families.“

Students Learn to Problem Solve

Samantha Dunlop – Teacher

“Since we finished the program we’ve noticed that students are starting to problem solve on their own…and when there’s disputes in the classroom or on the playground we come back together as a group and watch the video again so we can revisit the issue…we really can dive deeper into these challenges because the kids all have a common language now.“

Giving Teachers Confidence

Craig ODell – Athletic Director

“This program was really simple to use, and it covered all the core competencies that we needed to cover. It gave me the tools so that I felt more comfortable and confident to tackle these important conversations with my students. The students were able to express their appreciation for each other and they even started apologising for things they realised were hurting others. I’m really looking forward to using the program again next year!“

Testimonial Mental Health K-12 School
"Our classrooms are buzzing about Open Parachute. Students eagerly participate in the Open Parachute lessons and ask to continue with lessons even when the class is over. Students recognize themselves in the youths featured in the videos, which makes the content more relatable. As a parent, I have been able to take what I have learned from the Open Parachute lessons to interact with my own children. I feel like I can competently and confidently respond to the challenges my children are facing in their lives right now."
