Why it matters

“I spend my working life helping accomplished adults undo beliefs they formed as children: that they’re not enough, that failure is proof of something permanent. By the time I meet them, those patterns are decades deep. We know these skills can be taught. The question is why we wait until adulthood to teach them. Programs that build resilience in primary school aren’t a nice addition to education. They’re the most efficient mental health investment we can make.”

Prevention has a huge multiplier.

The cost of one night in hospital is the equivalent of 92 children experiencing 10 weeks of Mighty Me™.
