Frequently Asked Questions

How much time does the program take?

Our Primary program has 30 lessons per year level which are designed to run for 60 minutes.

What does the program look like in the classroom? What will my child be doing?

Your child(ren) will complete a variety of activities that introduce them to The Resilience Project’s key principles of Gratitude, Empathy, Mindfulness and Emotional Literacy. The activities will give them a chance to practise these concepts, individually and in groups. Students will be encouraged to develop positive wellbeing habits by practising these concepts on a regular basis outside of their TRP lessons.

How can I get involved and support my child?

We know that parents and carers often prioritise the health and wellbeing of others before their own. It’s really important to practise regular self-care and our positive mental health strategies are applicable to people of all ages. You can play a big role in supporting the development of positive wellbeing habits at home by checking out the Parents and Carers page on our website.

Regular gratitude practices have been proven to increase the amount of positives you notice in your day. The Resilience Project 21 Day, 6 Month and Family Journals are a great way to do this and are available through their online shop.

The Resilience Project app is another convenient way to regularly practise the GEM+EL principles and is available on iTunes and Google Play.

The Imperfects podcast, hosted by Hugh van Cuylenburg, Ryan Shelton and Josh van Cuylenburg, celebrates just how imperfectly perfect we all are. Together, they chat to a variety of people who bravely share their struggles and imperfections alongside valuable learnings we can apply to our own lives and use to support the teachings of TRP in the classroom. Guests include Nathan Buckley, Grace Tame, Jack Steele, Zane Rowe, Michael Klim, Billy Slater, Lael Stone, Pat Cummins, Tim Minchin and many more.

We encourage you to have conversations with your kids about the program and how they are integrating gratitude, empathy, mindfulness and emotional literacy into their lives. Embedding positive mental health practices and language across school and the home lead to greater benefits and understanding.
