Growing Strong Minds strives to empower educators, children and parents to thrive. The science of wellbeing states that our foundation for wellbeing should be character strengths. As such we have developed two wellbeing package – Strong Minds Expert for primary schools and Strong Little Minds for early childhood centres, both based on scientifically validated character strengths. Additionally, we have developed individual wellbeing resources – gratitude journals, character strength cards and posters.

Strong Minds Expert provides 5 hours of  NESA registered PD for 2 teachers/school, and 2 hours of NESA registered PD for all Proficient Teachers addressing 6.2.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW.

What participants are saying

I loved learning about character strengths and how they can be used across the whole school K-6. This training has inspired me to implement the Growing Strong Minds program in my school starting next Term.
TeacherBilambil Public School
Participating in the Strong Minds Expert PL has provided me with a solid research base in the positive psychology behind the effective implementation of the package within a school. The inclusion of strategies and proven ways to embed the language of character strengths in all areas of school life was most valuable. Spending time discussing and preparing staff wellbeing experiences to promote intrinsic motivation and positivity was extremely relevant, topical and of great value in our current climate. I feel confident and knowledgeable in delivering this package to staff and building sustainable practices into school processes, policies and practices. Thank you!
TeacherParramatta Public School
I loved learning more about the research base underpinning the program as it provided us with a stronger understanding of why this approach really enhances the wellbeing of our students, staff and parent community. The resources including the Powerpoint ensure that the quality of the training delivery supports the integrity of the program across K-6. Nicole as a presenter your delivery whether in person or on screen is just amazing and you really allow time for your participants to connect with you. You also respect the varying needs of the school community and help us to positively engage with them.
