Stronger kids for a better future
2020 was a crazy year, and 2021 isn’t looking much better.
Who doesn’t feel anxious and depressed?
Geopolitical concerns, economic uncertainty, the pandemic, environmental catastrophe.
These are unprecedented times, and it’s tough on everyone, but especially so for children.
Kids are like psychic sponges that absorb the sorrows, tension and fear around them.
Unprocessed feelings of dread can manifest as behavioural issues, suicidal thoughts, lack of concentration, outbursts of rage, poor decision-making, and social problems.
One in seven people aged 4 to 17 will experience a mental health issue in any given year, while one in 13 aged 12-17 will seriously consider suicide. [Source: Beyond Blue]
FRIENDS Resilience Powerful Kids 2021 is a live, two-hour seminar offering parents and caregivers real-world, practical skills and techniques to build more resilient children, better equipped to face the challenges ahead.
Seats are limited. Register now at just $98.
Imagine what it was like for our kids to be locked out of school for months, to then be sent back and expected to snap straight back to it?
A pandemic that is dragging on and on would be more than enough to deal with, but many children have also watched their parents lose their jobs, some have lost their homes.
As the spectre of environmental collapse looms, what must it feel like to wonder if you’re the last generation?
These children know about the permafrost, they know the reef is dying. They understand the impact of habitat destruction, rampant consumption and pollution.
And the sense of hopelessness we all feel in the face of these existential threats is even more acute for our young people.
Children have so little power to effect change. But we can empower them to be strong and courageous in a fast-moving and chaotic modern world.
Friends Resilience has developed a new, online seminar to impart the wisdom of years of evidence-based resilience training directly to parents and guardians around Australia.
Based on the life’s work of premier child psychologist Dr Paula Barrett, and endorsed by the World Health Organisation, FRIENDS Resilience programs have been successfully deployed by governments, educational institutions and private organisations in over 30 countries, and have changed the lives of more than 100,000 people.

The children are the future. The key to making a better world is helping them be stronger, more confident, more mindful and more resilient, so they have the courage to create a better world.
This seminar provides an evidence-based approach to help young people to navigate an increasingly complex and uncertain world.
Help them prosper and grow and build confidence and spirit to be the change our world so desperately needs.
Training our kids to step up with empathy and courage is the greatest gift we can offer these beautiful young minds and, in turn, humanity’s future.
In the interests of making this seminar as accessible as possible, we’re offering it to all parents and caregivers for just $98. We will allocate a handful of seats for parents suffering financial hardship, so if you can’t afford to pay, just let us know.
By the end of the seminar, parents will have a pragmatic, actionable plan, which can be applied to everyday family life.
More resilient children in 2021 means a better world for the future.
We can do this.
