Darren Pereira, one of Oceania’s foremost educational speakers and the founding director of Success Integrated, is presenting this powerfully insightful seminar.  Last year we had a capacity crowd attend this highly successful and informative parent presentation and have felt compelled to bring Darren back to support our community.  We would encourage Year 9 parents to attend the session where Darren will cover a variety of topics which will support parenting a teenager.  You can expect to walk away with how to help your teenager:
  • develop resilience, become adaptive and deal with their current challenges
  • use evidence-based, positive psychology interventions and cognitive behavioural techniques to sustainably manage depression and deal with negative thinking
  • rectify poor sleep habits exacerbating mental health issues
  • deal with disappointment, setbacks and failure
