The Resilient Families Program supports the mental health and wellbeing of children and their families. Smiling Mind’s psychologists developed the program through extensive consultation with children and their parents. It’s led by evidence and created to fit into everyday family life. Featuring a variety of modules—each packed with bite-sized activities—the Resilient Families Program is designed to bring families together through the development of a common language. It seeks to help kids develop key social and emotional skills and equips parents and carers with the tools to support them to build their mental fitness.
You can find the Resilient Families Program in the Families section of the Smiling Mind app
