“It has been heart warming for me to see the evolution of the things they identify. It started with friends and school. Now they are saying things like, my mum making my bed and cleaning my clothes, my warm home and loving family.”

Senior Class Teacher, Portland School

“The Melbourne Football Club are delighted with our finished product. The project has been an overwhelming success, as we have had excellent feedback from players as well as a high level of interest from schools in regards to the journals. I sincerely thank Nicky for her support and expertise in helping us bring this project to life!”

Health and Wellbeing Program a Hit

Our kids are experiencing ANXIETY, ANGER, SELF-ESTEEM ISSUES and other BIG EMOTIONS they don’t know how to deal with.

Parents, schools and clubs are more aware than ever of the importance of emotional wellbeing and raising resilient kids.

As a parent of two pre-teen boys, and a family history of mental illness, I wanted to create a product to help my kids learn the essential skills to deal with life’s ups and downs.

THE RESULT?
A simple but powerful solution!

The Resilient ME® Gratitude Journal for Kids — a before-crisis guided journal that is full of tools and fun activities designed to improve mental fitness and wellbeing.

Ask us about customising wellbeing journals with YOUR SCHOOL or CLUB brand.

Gratitude and resilience journals for kids (ages 5-12) and teens (13+).

“This should be funded into the hands of every primary school aged child. Teaching kids how to look after their mental health and about resilience is as important as teaching them how to swim, or read and write.”

ANNA FLOWERDAY - Parent

“As a mum and a mental health professional I use gratitude journaling for myself, with my clients and my kids to build in and strengthen good wellbeing habits into every day. Both gratitude and journaling are powerful wellbeing tools and the gratitude journals by AwesoME Inc are actually the best that I’ve come across.”

DR EMMA WOODWARD

“I thought they were terrific. I actually pinched a couple and took them home for my two kids. That was probably my favourite workshop and I think teaching gratitude is an important thing about appreciating what people have from the smallest to the biggest of things.”

NATHAN JONES
Co-Captain, Melbourne Football Club

Our guided journals help kids to understand that the big feelings they are having are normal, and teaches them simple ways to build resilience, stay calm and maintain a positive attitude.

Whilst the children might not entirely comprehend the tools, all based on the latest psychological research, they work! Presented in a fun and engaging way to create essential healthy habits, build meaningful connections and facilitate behaviour change to improve mental fitness. We can’t always stop our kids facing challenges but we can teach them the skills so these challenges don’t break them.

“My juniors love them!
It's part of our bigger push for well-being.”

MELANIE - Teacher
Rangi Ruru Girls School

“It’s moments like this that make me proud to be a member of our great club. The players represented the club so well and the messages they gave to the students really gave them something to think about (even just their reactions when they were told they can keep their gratitude books – some of these students are from low socio-economic backgrounds, so things like this just make their year).”

BEN MALONEY - Lead Teacher
Wilandra Rise Primary School, Australia

“They were a huge success and the students are still talking about them! Thank you also for generously supplying our students with their own Gratitude Journals. They are such a brilliant resource and are being used regularly as part of our Wellbeing Program.”

Gratitude brings people together by fostering connection on a much wider scale, helping both individuals and communities to thrive.

We believe the benefits of gratitude can spread beyond the kids to teachers, family members and their community.

Teaching children from a young age to look for the good in each day, is teaching them a way to be happy no matter the situation they may be in.

Children’s ability to think gratefully can be strengthened in as little as two days and has long lasting effects where they are happier, kinder, and more helpful.*

Research has shown that practising gratitude makes you feel good, it makes you more resilient, makes you more generous and more compassionate.

It helps you feel less isolated and lonely, boosts your immune system and helps strengthen your personal relationships, as well as improving sleep.¹

Children who practice gratitude show increased positive emotions and optimism, decreased negative emotions and physical symptoms, and feel more connected and satisfied with school, family, friends and themselves.²

There is also evidence that teens who practice gratitude are more engaged in their schoolwork and hobbies, have higher grades, and are less envious, depressed, and materialistic.³
