Description

Depression and anxiety among school aged children are serious issues and many schools and teachers are trying to find ways to boost student well-being. 

14 years ago, teacher Hugh van Cuylenberg founded the Resilience Project to help young people feel happier and, as the name suggests, more resilient.

At first no-one wanted to sign up, and it would be years of noes before he finally got his break.

Today, the project is being used in 1200 schools across Australia, as well as sporting clubs and workplaces.

Guest: Hugh van Cuylenberg, founding director of The Resilience Project
