This course made stats so much easier to understand. It’s like having an online tutor available 24/7.

"This course made stats so much easier to understand! It was great to get a head start before starting Stats in Semester 1. I could ask questions whenever I needed, and the team responded quickly. I also loved how the content was easy to digest, followed by quizzes that tested my understanding with clear explanations when I got something wrong.

I’ve come back to this course for help before starting advanced stats—it's been a lifesaver. Since getting a good grade is essential for Honours, it's like having an online tutor available whenever I need it, and that has made all the difference!"

Why We Built This.

Because stats should make sense — not make you sweat.

Hi, I’m Ashley — a psychology educator and researcher with a focus on how people think, connect, and find meaning in tough times. My work explores the values, beliefs, and social dynamics that shape wellbeing — especially for young people and those navigating uncertainty. Over the past decade, I’ve published research on identity, mental health, and social connection, and taught psychology at the university level. But I’ve always believed that psychology should be useful — not just academic. At The Wellbeing Project, I help turn big ideas into practical tools. My aim is to make sure the learning feels relevant, clear, and immediately useful — so that what you take from our courses sticks with you long after the page is closed.

Hi, I’m Kieran — a psychology lecturer and mental health educator with over 20 years of experience supporting people through challenging moments. I’ve worked across education, community services and mental health, helping individuals, teams and organisations build the skills to respond calmly, confidently and compassionately when someone is struggling. This course was designed to give you practical tools — not just theory — so you can feel ready to help when it matters most. My goal is to make sure you leave with simple, real-world strategies that you can use straight away, no matter your role or background. You don’t need to be a psychologist to support someone — you just need the right approach. That’s what this course is all about.

In 2018, we were tired of professional development that didn’t work — long slides, little impact. It was the 21st century, but PD hadn’t caught up. With support from Spark Deakin and Deakin University, we built The Wellbeing Project — not just another course, but a fresh take on what learning should feel like.

Before there were whiteboards, there were stories in the stars.

We learn on Wurundjeri land, named after the Manna Gum — a tree rich in culture, medicine and meaning. We honour Elders past and present, the original teachers.
