Arrive & Thrive in Wellbeing arms teenage girls with a powerful truth: that they have what it takes to confidently face and beat any challenge. It positions them to flourish despite a national rise in teenage angst, reflected in statistics that state:
Only 62 per cent
of girls in secondary school said they had a strong sense of wellbeing.
More than 55 per cent
were assessed as anxious.*
I know you want her to be:
Healthy — mentally, physically and emotionally
Sure of her worth
Strong enough to stand up for herself
Fearless of her potential
Wise enough to walk away
True to herself — always
The Arrive & Thrive in Wellbeing Program empowers her to be all this
— and more.

In and out of school, your girl must fight battles she may be unequipped to win: bullying, peer pressure, body image discontent, and confusion from compromising or forfeiting her identity to fit in.
You may have noticed she is:
-
Experiencing a rough patch
-
Wrestling with mood swings, frustration and/or internal conflict
-
Struggling to relate to you, as you are to her
-
Growing ever distant
-
Searching for help to navigate life
You’re unsure of what to do or unable to carve out time to reach out and connect.
The Arrive & Thrive in Wellbeing Program offers a dedicated solution:
An online program specifically designed to equip her for life's challenges.
Her Girl’s Circle
Your 13 to 18-year-old will discover more about wellbeing, grow through professional mentoring and connect with a supportive circle of girls. Alongside them, she will enhance her personal resilience, develop her confidence and coping mechanisms for stress, anxiety and change, build positive relationships, and cultivate optimism.
It's an innovative approach that transforms from the inside out and promotes the five core elements of wellbeing:
• Positive emotion
• Positive engagement
• Positive relationships
• Positive meaning
• Positive achievement
I WASN'T REALLY SURE WHAT TO EXPECT AND THOUGHT IT WOULD PROBABLY BE A WASTE OF TIME, BUT MUM REALLY WANTED ME TO GO. I WAS SO SURPRISED; I GOT SO MUCH FROM IT. I LOVED THE NURTURING ENVIRONMENT AND FELT SAFE TO TALK ABOUT CHALLENGING ISSUES. I LEARNED LOTS OF WAYS TO OVERCOME MY NEGATIVE INNER VOICE AND DEVELOP THE CONFIDENCE TO ACHIEVE MY DREAMS. I NOW FEEL MORE EQUIPPED TO FACE LIFE'S CHALLENGES.

THANK YOU DEIDRE FOR CREATING SUCH AN EMPOWERING SPACE FOR MY DAUGHTER. EVEN AFTER THE FIRST DAY SHE WAS SO EXCITED AND COULDN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT WHAT SHE HAD LEARNT ALL THE WAY HOME. SHE SAID SHE FEELS MORE EMPOWERED TO BE HERSELF AND FOLLOW HER DREAMS INSTEAD OF FEELING THE NEED TO FIT IN WITH OTHERS.

ARE SAYING
I REALLY LOVED UNDERSTANDING MORE ABOUT MYSELF AND LEARNING HOW I CAN BE THE PERSON I WANT TO BE. I FEEL CONFIDENT AND BRAVE TO BE MYSELF. WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN UNIQUE STRENGTHS AND NOW I'M MORE AWARE OF HOW TO USE THEM.

I WAS REALLY NERVOUS AND SCARED COMING AS I HAD NEVER BEEN TO ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND I DIDN'T KNOW ANYONE.

I LEARNT STUFF ABOUT MYSELF WHICH WILL HELP ME TO BE A BETTER PERSON AND I ALSO MADE SOME NEW FRIENDS AND HAD LOTS OF FUN.
Kaitlyn
IT WAS GREAT TO SPEND TIME WITH SOME OTHER GIRLS AND REALISE THAT THE THINGS I WAS STRUGGLING WITH THE OTHER GIRLS WERE. I'M ACTUALLY OK AND I'M NORMAL. I REALLY ENJOYED THE OPEN DISCUSSIONS AND FELT SAFE TO REALLY TALK ABOUT WHAT I WAS FEELING AND NOW I HAVE SOME TOOLS TO HELP ME ACHIEVE MY GOALS WITH CONFIDENCE AND BELIEF.

THE
MENTOR
I am truly passionate about equipping teenage girls to reach their full potential, and find the steady rise in low self-esteem, depression and anxiety among them unacceptable. My Arrive & Thrive in Wellbeing Program leverages many of the powerful insights I use to advance capabilities in executive leaders and teams. It’s an online program that empowers teenage girls to sustain resilience, self-love and a healthy mindset. I deliver proven strategies for navigating difficult situations and the tools to master their lives.
Like you,
I believe in her.
