The mental health crisis is not getting better.
But what if there is a radically different way to understand resilience and wellbeing?
But what if there is a radically different way to understand resilience and wellbeing?
The answer: most well-intentioned efforts are focused on solving the wrong problem.
Existing solutions have assumed that today’s youth have a resilience deficit, thus creating programmes to ‘build’ or ‘create’ resilience.
But what if there is a radically different way to understand resilience and wellbeing?
What if resilience is built-in, innate to every human being?
We adopt a strengths-based approach.
iheart has created a highly effective whole school approach to improve the mental wellbeing and resilience of young people supported by an innovative staff training model and excellent resources.
We adopt a strengths-based approach.
Our role is to educate young people that they do NOT have a resilience deficit. Rather, we empower them with the confidence that they CAN uncover their built-in mental health, wellbeing and resilience so that they can overcome their challenges and realise their extraordinary potential.

Why is iheart so important?
When our youth know that mental health and wellbeing is innate and that they have everything they need inside, this is:
Liberating. Young people are excited to discover that they are whole and well. Nothing is wrong with them.
Hopeful. Young people discover that they have everything they need inside of them. This gives them the confidence to achieve their potential and overcome setbacks.
Empowering. Young people gain the knowledge and skills to navigate their journey through life. No doubt they will make detours, but they can get back on track!
What difference does iheart make?
When young people learn about their innate mental health and wellbeing, they have…
More
Optimism & hope
Ability to manage their feelings
Acceptance of others & improved relationships
Motivation to overcome difficulties,
thrive and realise their potential
Capacity for dealing with adversity & setbacks
And Less
Anxiety, stress & fear
Low moods & loneliness
Reactive behaviour
Sibling rivalry & parental conflict
Struggles with friends & social dynamics
The iheart programme gives young people a roadmap, signposts and a compass so that they know which road they are traveling on, and a way to re-route when they find they are off track.
Who wouldn’t want our youth to have such an essential instruction manual for handling life?
