Having good mental health and wellbeing is just as important as having good physical health.
Being mentally healthy builds resilience and makes it easier to deal with life's inevitable challenges.
Join experienced youth workers Rachelle Jones and Mel Jeffery from Maroondah City Council's Youth and Children's services team as they explore and discuss practical strategies for building wellbeing and becoming the best version of ourselves as part of a free online 'Building blocks of wellbeing' session on Tuesday 8 June, from 7pm to 8.30pm.
Council provides regular parenting information sessions for parents, grandparents, carers and educators in Maroondah to support families in their parenting journeys with children and young people.
The session will help you to gain an understanding of the PERMAH wellbeing framework based on the theory that wellbeing is cultivated by positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning and purpose, accomplishment and health.
Participants will also be introduced to each of the PERMAH pillars and evidence behind its link to wellbeing and be provided with a range of tools to build on each of these pillars in their own life.
PERMAH is an acronym for a model of wellbeing put forth by a pioneer in the field of positive psychology, Dr Martin Seligman.
Rachelle and Mel have a wealth of experience supporting young people to flourish and are excited to share their knowledge with parents to develop a positive family culture at home.
