The Resilience Project 

RELATING WELLBEING HABITS & CONNECTION 

GEM Chats helps families practice The Resilience Project’s principles. They offer a simple well-being check-in while building stronger connections through daily conversations.

Building Resilience at Home for Parents/Carers Webinar 

For the families who wanted to attend but may have missed it, you can view the Building Resilience at Home for Parents/Carers Webinar here.

This webinar provides parents/carers with knowledge of the TRP program, tips and strategies to support their child's wellbeing at home through the GEM principles. The aim is to bridge the gap between the classroom and home, equipping parents with the tools to foster resilience in their children. 

Please note that the above link will only be available to you until the 13th of April. 

Enjoy! 

Take care, and have a wonderful weekend.
