A big thank you to the City of Sydney Council - Pyrmont Children's Program! It was great to be apart of the self development activities that were planned for the Tweenies group (pre-teens), who attended vacation care during the October School Holidays. It was lots of fun! I wish them all the best and encourage them to continue focussing on their strengths and believing in themselves!
All the best,
Kids and Teens Group
Often in life, there are difficulties we face that appear to be unworkable or impossible to overcome. Many times, it's the way we look at a situation that prevents us from seeing our options or the possibilities that exist. It may also be that we don't want to burden our close family or friends with our troubles. Talking to someone neutral, compassionate and experienced in developing resilience (i.e. coping skills) can be very beneficial in overcoming or working around adversity.
Our July Strive High Workshop, at the Brain and Mind Research Institute, was a HIT!!! Thank you to the parents and Year 5, 6, 7 and 8 boys that attended and made the workshop fun, creative and relevant to their daily lives! It was a priveledge helping them develop their identity and self esteem, communication and problem solving skills, as well as coping strategies for difficult times they may face. I wish all the boys all the best in their future endeavours and encourage them to continue Striving High!
We have had the privilege of working with many wonderful schools (students, parents and educators) in promoting student resilience (self worth, motivation, empathy, problem solving and social skills) through our program STRIVE HIGH. We have also been able to tailor Strive High to meet the requirements of government and non government grants for wellbeing programs within schools.
