Resilience Project

The Resilience Project delivers emotionally engaging programs to schools, sports clubs and businesses, providing practical, evidence-based mental health strategies to build resilience and happiness.

Through presentations, school curriculum, events, the TRP App, and Wellbeing Journals, we share the benefits of Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness, and easy ways to practise these in everyday life. We also incorporate Emotional Literacy, Connection and Physical Health education and activities as they are foundational contributors to positive mental health.

The research is clear; the more positive emotion you experience, the more resilient you will be. For that reason, we focus on three key pillars that have been proven to cultivate positive emotion; Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness (GEM), with Emotional Literacy being a foundational skill to practise these strategies.

Gratitude

Paying attention to the things we have right now, and not worrying about what we don't have. We practise gratitude by noticing the positives around us.

Empathy

Putting ourselves in the shoes of others so we feel what they are feeling. We practise empathy by being kind and compassionate towards other people.

Mindfulness

Our ability to be calm and in the present moment. We practise mindfulness by slowing down and concentrating on one thing at a time.

Emotional Literacy

Our ability to label our emotions helps us to soften negative emotions and find positive emotions. We practise emotional literacy by labelling our emotions as we experience them

Our students participate in Resilence Project lessons within their Year Level. Students come together depending on their year level with a teacher who will work with them through the Resilience Project lessons and activities throughout the year. Each student has their own Resilience Project Journal that they use during these sessions.
