The Resilience Project
TRP@HOME Spotlight
https://theresilienceproject.com.au/2023-parent-carer-hub-inspire-hugh/
This week we spotlight the video from Hugh van Cuylenburg about Gratitude. The research is clear that daily expressions of gratitude create habits that enable us to begin scanning our world for positives. When we model this to our children and when we ‘think out loud’ as we do it, our children can hear our reasoning and process why this practice is beneficial in supporting their mental health. We can teach our children this effective strategy, leading to the development of resilient children.
The video can be found in the link above.
Update - What’s happening in the Hubs about The Resilience Project
The children in your child’s Hub have been engaging with the introductory videos and the learning activities that provide the Big Picture understanding of the program and the GEM (Gratitude, Empathy & Mindfulness) key principles.
Ask your child what they have learned about The Resilience Project so far. Continue to encourage your child to practice the GEM strategies everyday. Keeping a gratitude folder in your photos app on your phone is a great way to remind yourself of all of everything that you feel grateful for.
(And children love scrolling through photos on mum and dad’s phone). What a great opportunity to start a conversation about gratitude and why your chosen photos make you feel grateful.

Please take a look at this introductory video from Hugh van Cuylenburg to give some insights about modeling practices to our children that we use to support our own mental health and wellbeing. Hugh will introduce you to the stories that have been the springboard of the great work that is The Resilience Project.
The video can be found in the link above.
Children learn from watching as much as they learn from conversations and the explicit teaching that we engage in together. When you are regulating your emotions, help your child to recognise what is happening for you by naming how you are feeling and what strategies may help you to calm yourself.
In this presentation, Hugh shares a personal experience about his sister's battles with Mental Illness.
Note: This video contains a story about an Eating Disorder that may be triggering. Please consider this before watching.
