The Resilience Project

Lockdown has been a tough time for many, so as we move back into life as we (kind-of) knew it, we have something to share that might just be of interest. Hugh van Cuylenburg, founder of The Resilience Project, has partnered with elite sports teams, 1000+ schools and 500+ workplaces to teach simple and practical mental health strategies. He’s also a best-selling author and co-host of popular podcast, the imperfects.

Join Hugh as he walks you through his journey and tells stories of the incredible people who have inspired him and The Resilience Project to spread happiness. Hugh will unpack the research on mental health and break it down into simple tips that will leave you feeling empowered to improve your wellbeing.

Adults, parents, professionals, teenagers; this talk is for you. Well, really, it’s for anyone who wants to share a laugh and pick up some wellbeing tips along the way.

Event date: Saturday 27 November, 7pm, Civic Theatre
