Education for the educators.

“Empowering educators with the tools to foster resilience and social and emotional wellbeing is an investment in everyone’s future.” — Julia Gillard.

Delivering this initiative, VERSA’s role was to design a purpose-built solution for supporting Australia’s diverse educators and learning communities.

How might we help educators grow the next generation of mentally healthy young Australians?

Experience Strategy

By educators, for educators.

With the help of Be You, we engaged educators from across Australia to understand their learning behaviours, resource needs, and real-world mental health challenges.

Our experience strategy was simple: create a flexible, self-guided platform that allows educators to learn at a pace that suits their notoriously time-poor schedules.

Innovation Sprints

The key to unlock evolution.

We introduced the Innovation Sprint as a methodology to rapidly design and validate internal and external-facing solutions across Be You’s implementation ecosystem.

This sprint ➞ blueprint ➞ design workflow led to the successful integration of reimagined user experiences, as well as valuable additions to the future roadmap.

Experience Design

Design, test, learn, improve.

We designed an intuitive platform, centred around a user dashboard and non-linear course material, that delivered critical mental health resources to educators across Australia.

Since launch, we have worked with hundreds of educators to design new tools, overhaul the UX, and introduce functionality that enhances the experience.

Scalable Technology

Powered by enterprise tech.

Be You was developed on the Sitecore Experience Platform, selected by the Beyond Blue team to align the new solution with their existing digital infrastructure.

The platform is also fully interoperable with Salesforce, which powers personalised resource delivery, advanced community management, and targeted notifications.

Digital solutions to support a critical mission.

The Be You platform has become a transformative tool in empowering educators across Australia to address mental health challenges head-on.
