Shepparton, 3632

Mission Australia's Second Step program works in local schools across Greater Shepparton, supporting children in Years 6 and 7 who have been identified as vulnerable to not making a successful transition to secondary school, and at increased risk of school disengagement and early school leaving. Second Step is an evidence-based, early intervention program designed to increase children's educational engagement and success, improve peer relationships, and decrease problem behaviours through promoting social, emotional competence and self-regulation. The program utilises a mix of cognitive behavioural intervention models integrated with social learning theory, empathy research, and social information-processing research
