Michael's Favourite Resources:

SenseAbility is a strengths based resilience program designed for those working with young Australians aged 12-18. It consists of a suite of modules developed to enhance and maintain emotional and psychological resilience in young secondary school aged Australians. It was created with classroom delivery in mind; however, the modules have strong potential to benefit young people in other structured environments such as TAFE and Youth Organisations.

MindMatters Student Empowerment: Information Book. Mindmatters see student empowerment as a process through which young people are able to increase their participation in private, public and personal decisions about their own lives, and decision making with others about issues and actions that are important to them.
