FROG RESILIENCE
TESTIMONIALS
"The growthshops provided have forever changed the way in which I teach and provide emotional support to my students."
SCU Clinician/Lecturer
As a practicing mental health clinician, I have witnessed many seriously unwell clients recover to a point of resuming a life of hope and sustainability. However, this takes time and a great deal of cognitive behavioural analysis, medication and significant lifestyle alterations. The resilience workshop that Jo Mason provided to my second year nursing students was more powerful than anything I have seen to date. She is an articulate, passionate asset to Southern Cross University and I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to Jo for providing an insight into the incredible work that she does.

"Can we please have Jo back again next year?"
SCU student
This year the students were markedly more resilient, more emotionally prepared and their performance overall was better than previous years. In fact, several were reading the resilience card Jo had provided just prior to attending the exam.
