Breaking Point
Mental health struggles in Australia have hit a breaking point. Anxiety, depression, and a host of other disorders are running rampant, leaving our communities reeling. Suicide rates are climbing in several demographics, and finding adequate mental health support is increasingly tough, with blown-out waitlists and underresourced services.
Here’s what you need to know: We have the data. We know why it’s happening. In this presentation, we’ll unpack:
- The root causes behind this alarming trend.
- Gender differences in mental illness and how to help men and women who struggle.
- The science-backed tools to turn the tide and reclaim mental wellbeing.
- Real-life-tested strategies to carve out breathing room and foster better outcomes in both your professional and personal spheres.
This isn’t just your run-of-the-mill workshop; it’s a call to action. Join the conversation and be part of a dynamic, interactive experience where we collaborate to reshape the future of mental health. Hear real stories, explore innovative solutions, and discover practical strategies to protect and promote mental wellness in your life and the lives of those you love.
Motivated
This is the age of instant gratification and endless digital distractions. You see it in your students: the glazed eyes, the restless fidgeting, and the constant pull of attention. Capturing and maintaining learner engagement feels like an uphill battle.
In Motivated: Boosting Active Learning in the Classroom, Dr Justin Coulson will provide practical strategies to combat apathy and transform your classroom into an engaging learning environment.
In this interactive session you will learn how to:
- Use the science of motivation: Gain a deeper understanding of intrinsic motivation and its impact on student learning.
- Spark a love of learning: Tap into students’ natural curiosity and desire to learn.
- Cultivate a dynamic learning environment: Promote student autonomy, belonging, and a love of learning.
You will leave this session equipped with the tools and knowledge to create a truly motivating and effective learning experience for every student.
Dysregulated
Meltdowns, outbursts, and challenging behaviours can leave us feeling lost and unsure how to help. It’s tough when our kids are struggling with big emotions! What we sometimes forget is that these behaviours usually stem from overwhelming feelings that our children don’t yet have the tools to manage.
Emotional Regulation is Dr Justin Coulson’s powerful guide to helping children understand and regulate their emotional world. Once they develop competence with this critical life skill, emotionally intelligent children will feel more confident, perform better at school, have healthier relationships with others, and even be physically healthier.
This presentation will equip parents with a five-step “emotion coaching” process that brings together the very best in emotional intelligence research from Dr John Gottman, the Yale Centre for Emotional Intelligence, and others, to build children’s resilience, increase wellbeing for the whole family, and develop healthier humans.
