Objectives:

Participants will learn to cultivate cognitive resilience and mental agility

Statement of Need:
Anti-Bullying campaigns have failed, we need to shift to teaching and training up kids to have strong minds and soft hearts.

Abstract:
Today’s teenagers face unprecedented academic pressure, social media comparison, and social anxieties, often leading to a focus solely on "grit" or mental toughness. While academic performance is important, it is often prioritized at the expense of emotional health and empathy. This presentation, "Building Strong Minds and Soft Hearts," argues that true success requires a balanced approach: developing Strong Minds (resilience, critical thinking, and mental endurance) alongside Soft Hearts (empathy, emotional regulation, and self-compassion).
