Whole School Resilience Program

The Resilience Doughnut whole school program links research data with the school needs to develop and implement training.

A whole school approach involves training staff and parents in the model and using the Resilience Report to inform the process of change in the school. Coaching and mentoring with the Director of Schools afterwards, then enables the program to reach its potential.
