A talk by Ash Manuel. During this session, Ash will take you through six ways you can overcome adversity in challenging times. Not only will he discuss the six ways, but he will also show you how, by sharing practical activities that you can do to build and protect your mental wellbeing. Not only your mental wellbeing but that of your family and students.

In 2010, while teaching as a primary school physical education teacher in Adelaide, Ash discovered his most significant learning. Resilience, grit and happiness can be practised - in the same way, skills in a sport can be practised. As a result Growing With Gratitude was born.
