Testimonial

We are still hearing rave reviews of the evening and your presentation… I feel so delighted that the word is spreading and parents are saying how energised they feel AND telling their friends and relatives about it! Thanks again.

Glenda, Assistant Principal

Thank you so much. I think I understand some of the members of my family as well as some of my students a lot better now!

Philippa, Queensland educator

As an educator I have been involved in a number of different resilience programs. However, the resilience ambassador program was different in many ways to those I have been part of previously. The biggest difference lay in the way it and Andrew Fuller empowered students to make real changes not only in themselves but those around them as well. It was a gift to watch the growth in the students I supported through the program from those with weak resilience skills into community members who helped others build resiliency.
