The workshop has been designed to empower parents and professionals with strategies to support young people in overcoming life’s challenges.
Titled ‘Raising Resilient Youth: Practical Strategies for Parents’, the workshop will be held on Wednesday, February 19 from 7pm at the Nagambie Mechanics Institute on High St.
The session is catered to parents and caregivers, and will provide parents with valuable strategies to help their children build resilience in the face of academic pressures, social challenges and recovery from significant life events.
Two other workshops will be held by Dr Carr-Gregg in Euroa, one being the same as that in Nagambie, while the other is named ‘Assessing Adolescents at Risk: Strategies for Professionals in Education, Welfare and Health’, which is aimed at teachers, social workers, health professionals and welfare staff.
These workshops are part of Strathbogie Shire Council’s commitment to recovery and resilience-building following the 2022 October floods, and they act as an effort to strengthen the emotional and mental wellbeing of youth in the community.
Dr Carr-Gregg said the workshops had been designed to equip parents and professionals with essential tools to build resilience in youth.
“Resilience is not just a skill; it’s a vital life force that empowers our youth to navigate the complexities of life — whether it’s the daily pressures they face or the significant challenges posed by natural disasters,” Dr Carr-Gregg said.
“In 2025, the mental health landscape for our youth in Australia reflects a profound urgency: as challenges mount and pressures escalate, we must unite to transform despair into hope, for the wellbeing of our future generations hinges on our collective commitment to resilience and support.
“I am profoundly grateful to the Strathbogie Shire for arranging these opportunities.”
The workshops set out to provide attendees with actionable strategies to foster emotional strength and adaptability, ensuring that youth are better prepared to overcome difficulties and thrive.
