Sep 19, 2016 - Wed 21st September – 7.00pm Parent Talk by Psychologist Shane Martin – Moodwatchers THE PSYCHOLOGY OF BOUNCIBILITY – How to build resilience within ourselves One reality about this life is the inevitability of experiencing challenge and crisis as part of the journey.

Science has uncovered specific traits/factors linked to better outcomes during periods of challenge. These can be utilised at work and within our lives in general to make us more resilient.
