High Adversity Resilience Training (HART) for principals and school leaders
Accredited by Suicide Prevention Australia | 14 hours of professional learning | 3-year certification | Built on the peer-reviewed PR6 model
2 days | No prerequisites | On-site for your leadership team or at an open session in Perth | Fee depends on group size and delivery options
HART gives principals and school leaders accredited, evidence-based skills to manage stress, stay well and keep leading. It's delivered by registered psychologists who work inside schools.
HART builds on the 24 skills of Resilience First Aid (RFA), adding 13 advanced skills across the six PR6 domains.
It doesn't treat resilience as a personality trait or a personal responsibility. HART teaches practical skills you can use on a hard day, and shows leaders how to build a culture where their staff can do the same.


"A fabulous two days of relevant and insightful strategies that will benefit all staff in schools ."
- Pauline Winrow, Principal, WA
"The training was extremely relevant to our context. I cannot wait to go back to school on Monday and start implementing the resilience strategies. Thank you. This work is so important"
- Deputy Principal
"I felt this training was extremely beneficial for me, not only in a work sense, but also on a more personal level. The resilience strategies and techniques gave me the opportunity to reflect on little changes I can make in my personal life to build my own resilience and improve my perspective to a more positive outlook, improving my mental health and the way I view myself."
- Program Coordinator
