TRP@HOME Spotlight

Thursday September the 12th is R U OK? Day 

Rather than have a special acknowledgment day, we will be encouraging everyone in our community to make a habit of checking in with one another in support of the mental health of all in our community. When you speak to your child/ren about R U OK? please make the link to Empathy and the learning they have done through The Resilience Project lessons. The development of empathy takes a considerable amount of time and multiple exposures to practice. 

Please encourage your children to look for clues in themselves or others that may indicate that they or others, may not be feeling ok. The more that we model this and show empathy, the more our children will see this practice as beneficial for themselves, others and in forming positive relationships. 

Empathy 

Did you know ….

80% of our happiness is derived from:

●   Friendship

●   Health

●   Work fulfillment

●   Loving relationships

●   Spirituality

When you do something kind for someone else your brain releases the love hormone oxytocin. This makes you feel good too. 

“Kindness is the greatest wealth of all. Small acts of kindness last longer than a lifetime” - Eddie Jaku (Author of ‘The Happiest Man on Earth’).
