School Partnership Program

For existing school partners

The Resilience Project's School Program is proven to work.

At the Resilience Project, we are committed to teaching positive mental health strategies to prevent mental ill-health and build young people’s capacity to deal with adversity.

Acknowledging the challenges experienced by young people throughout the pandemic, we wanted to further understand the impact on their mental health and ensure the schools program best met the current needs of young Australians.

The University of Adelaide, led by Dr Mark Kohler, recently analysed Resilient Youth survey data that was collected from the schools that participated in The Resilience Project schools program in 2019, 2020 and 2021 (83,002 students) compared with those that did not participate (79,699 students).

What's new in 2023

In our commitment to continuous improvement, our partnership program for existing schools is now categorised under three key headings: Engage, Inspire and Extend.

Along with everything you currently experience as part of the program, there will be a number of exciting new initiatives to further support teachers, students and parents in 2023.

  • Culturally sensitive and inclusive lessons, indigenous perspectives, visuals and prompts.
  • A parent communication pack to inform and connect parents with TRP program.
  • A GEM pack with posters and other visual templates, ready to print and place around the school.
  • A staff professional development event to introduce the program to new staff and build their knowledge.
  • A suite of new digital presentations from Martin (students) and Hugh (teachers/parents).
  • A range of new workshops focused specifically on Gratitude, Empathy, Mindfulness (GEM) and Emotional Literacy to help build teacher capacity.
  • A new ‘Authentic Connection’ presentation for staff with Hugh or Martin
  • A new workshop to provide parents and carers with their own practical toolkit to practise GEM at home.
