Andrew Fuller is coming to the Yarra Valley.
The well-known clinical psychologist has written best-selling books including Unlocking Your Child’s Genius and From Surviving to Thriving.
The health promotion team at Eastern Health engaged Andrew to speak at the Yarra Valley Health Promoting Schools Forum.
The free forum for parents and teachers will be held at The Memo in Healesville from 6pm to 8pm on 20 June.
Eastern Health health promotion officer Irene Dunne Pfeiffer said the event would share information with the community about an important topic.
“This forum is a great way to offer some insight into raising resilient kids and supporting the resilient mindset at home and at school, and Andrew’s input will be incredibly valuable,” she said.
Andrew has worked with young people in more than 1500 schools and has extensively researched how to create great mental health outcomes for kids.
Parents and teachers can get up close with Andrew and learn how they can best support children with managing anxiety and promoting resilience.
In addition, student representatives will share on what’s happening in their schools, Eastern Health’s child and family counsellor Fiona Sedgeman will speak, and the Respectful Relationships Art Competition Awards will be announced.
