The Resilience Project: practical strategies for protecting your mental health

In this episode of The Remarkables, we speak with the CEO of The Resilience Project (TRP), Ben Waterman. TRP was founded by Hugh van Cuylenburg after he volunteered and lived with a community in North India. Although the community had few material possessions, their infectious happiness inspired him to explore what helps people build happier, more resilient lives. Since then, TRP has delivered resilience programs in schools, workplaces and communities, helping people develop practical skills to support their mental health and mindfulness. Independent evaluations by leading Australian universities have shown the programs are having a positive, measurable impact on students and, increasingly, workplaces across Australia.
