Book Talk Tuesday: Paul Whetham 'Mind & Soul Travel Guides' In our busy and distracted world, it’s easy to experience stress and loneliness. Many of us are stuck in the ‘same old’; trapped in old ways of thinking and relating. Yet, the latest neuroscience shows we can retrain our brains and create enriched environments. In his new book Journey of Discovery, Dr. Paul Whetham outlines neuroscience in a nutshell. He gives practical examples of how we switch off our brain and creative ways to switch it back on again.

He also explores ‘faith, the forgotten factor’ in mental health. He looks at how mental health links with the way we create meaning, how we feel about ourselves and the world around us. This Travel Guide may change your life!

Strong Girls

#ComeToTrott

Strong Girls is a 10 week program for ages 8 to 12 designed to support and strengthen the wellbeing of our girls in a fun and accepting environment. Each week we focus on a different topic following these basic principles – finding passion and purpose; tools and strategies to face life’s obstacles; instilling an unshakeable belief in themselves; building a community of friends.

Our focus for 2019 is to bring young people together so we can better understand their needs.

Our vision is to build capacity to learn and earn. So #ComeToTrott is an opportunity for you to talk to us. Plus have a great time with activities like live music, skate therapy, giant outdoor games, pizza and more. Tell us on the night and go into a draw for $50 gift voucher.
