One key strength of a critical educator is their ability to question “taken-for-granteds”, policies, strategies and methods which have been upheld as the best or only ways of educating or “what works”. A critical educator will question who determines what a method “working” means. They would question if “working” means dominated, docile and compliant children or thriving, autonomous, capable children who have developed a sense of belonging and responsibility within a learning community. A critical educator cares about the state of children’s lives and their experiences and how these affect their education. They continue to resist norms, even within education systems, that add to any negative, unjust conditions of children’s lives.

It's time to put 'what works' into action at a national scale while continuing to build the evidence base and find new and better ways to promote people's mental wellbeing and prevent the onset of mental health conditions, wherever we can. Three things would help. - A small specialist team focused on promotion and prevention within every Health Department/Mental Health Commission in Australia to support planning, funding, capacity building, coordination and oversight. - A promotion and prevention Strategy/Framework and Action Plan for each jurisdiction in Australia that provides a roadmap for action. - Dedicated funding for promotion and prevention initiatives in every jurisdiction's Budget cycle, with co-funding provided by the Commonwealth Government. In other words, the promotion of mental wellbeing and the prevention of mental health conditions needs to be given the same attention in government mental health policy as the creation of a strong mental healthcare system.
