This week, through the Resilient IMPACT Staff Training, we continue our journey as a school community that underlines proactive approaches to wellbeing and resilience of our students. Wellbeing Coordinators will be trained in the Resilient IMPACT program, LBI Foundation and SAHMRI. IMPACT stands for Intentional Model and Practice Approach for Clients to Thrive. The entire IMPACT program is underpinned and supported by measurement, evaluation and quality, and at its centre-point, and is founded upon an intentional practice methodology, which is operationalised through the content.

Resilient IMPACT is designed to build “thriving children and young people in educational settings” with the goal of “assisting our young to acquire the core knowledge, skills and resources for life-long wellbeing, resilience and learning, and to engage meaningfully within their identified community.”

“By activating an education community who understand and respond to the specific learning, developmental and growth needs of children. In this community, adults are trained and empowered to coach children (and community) to acquire core knowledge, skills and resources for life-long growth, resilience and wellbeing outcomes.”

The IMPACT program is based upon a model where supporting adults (eg teachers, counsellors, practitioners) transition from ‘learning’ concepts to ‘coaching’ and ‘training’ the concepts to students and other supporting adults.

I look with anticipation to the effect Resilient IMPACT will have on our community.
