2026 SPEAKING PROGRAM

Speaking programs for schools, parents and organisations

The challenges facing young people are increasing, and schools that thrive are those with clear, evidence-based approaches to wellbeing and resilience. That’s where we can help.

With over 30 years of clinical experience and 18 published books for parents, educators and young people, our events blend science-backed insight with warmth, humour and real-world stories, so learning truly sticks.

From high-impact student sessions to parent evenings and professional development for staff, our programs are evidence-based, practical and deeply relatable.
