The Newton Wellesley Hospital Resilience ProjectNurturing GROWTH: Building Blocks of Happiness, Innovation, Originality, and WellbeingBuilding happiness and wellbeing is both a science and an art. Developing the “building blocks” that lead to growth, development, and improved mental wellness can be taught and learned. How can educators help our young people and themselves develop mental fitness to meet challenges and leverage opportunities? How do we create an environment at school and in the world where mental wellness, emotional and cognitive flexibility, and innovation can flourish? This workshop will present a backdrop of The Resilience Project’s GROWTH Model of Resilience and share tools that can help young people – and the adults who support them – to thrive.
