Community and Wellbeing

The Resilience Project

In the final part of The Resilience Project's digital series, Martin shares an important message about creating environments where our kids can ask for help. 

65% of adolescents do not seek help for mental illness. 

 

In this presentation, Martin shares a personal experience about a traumatic event that happened to him as a child. He explains how he overcame adversity and built resilience by asking for support, particularly from his family.

The Resilience Project - Kids Shows

Get ready, strap yourself in and join Martin for an action packed show that will have everyone on the edge of their seats wanting more!

 

For the first time ever, we’re on the road tackling children’s mental health with a high-energy kids show tour – ‘3 Happy Tricks’ with Martin Heppell.

 

Through music, storytelling and plenty of laughs, these shows provide primary school aged children and their parents practical strategies on how to be happier and more resilient.

New research has revealed that 1 in 4 primary students are experiencing symptoms of depression. And almost 1 in 3 are experiencing symptoms of anxiety.

“After two years of really tough lockdowns, social isolation and navigating the challenges of online learning, it’s no wonder we are seeing such confronting statistics about our children’s mental health,” says Hugh van Cuylenburg, The Resilience Project’s founder and best-selling author.

 

You can catch the tour, featuring our most engaging and entertaining presenter, Martin Heppell, in Shepparton on Monday 19th September during the Term 3 school holidays.

These shows are a great opportunity for families across the state to learn how to incorporate GEM into their daily routine and help children to improve their wellbeing.
