The Resilience Project

Emmaville Central School is a partnership school with The Resilience Project. Students from K-12 have scheduled lessons to engage with the program and, in turn, be better prepared for learning. The Resilience Project program aims to teach young people positive mental health strategies that will make them feel happier and be more resilient. This is centred on the core principles — Gratitude, Empathy, Mindfulness and Emotional Literacy.

Schools have a unique opportunity to improve the mental health outcomes for young people and positively influence the wellbeing of a whole school community. By focusing on building wellbeing strategies, we provide individuals with the understanding and tools to manage life's challenges and stressors. This approach also fosters a happier, calmer and more resilient school environment.

Why wellbeing matters

The mental health statistics in this country are confronting.

The Resilience Project’s School Partnership Program has been independently evaluated by both The University of Adelaide and The University of Melbourne. Overall, these evaluations demonstrate that providing the tools and interventions to build resilience can significantly lower the risk of mental illness and buffer the negative effects of stressful life events.
