Wellbeing at OPPS 

The Resilience Project- Parent and Carer Hub

Throughout 2023, we will continue to work closely with The Resilience Project to support the wellbeing of our school community. The Resilience Project delivers emotionally engaging programs and provides evidence-based, practical strategies to build resilience. 

Mindfulness

Today’s presentation from The Resilience Project is all about Mindfulness. Mindfulness is an intentional awareness generated by paying attention to a whole experience; being present in the moment. It’s important to explore what mindfulness strategies are helpful for you.Thousands of studies have proven benefits include reduced stress, reduced rumination, increased memory, increased cognitive function and physical health benefits through improved immunity.
