63 different psychological terms are used to describe #eudaimonia by scientists. I'd say we have a serious bracket creep problem. If it captures everything, it explains nothing. Precision helps us understand and enhance #wellbeing

Every young person has a superpower. It's called 'Possibility'. The ability to take new chances and discover new strengths. Give your students the best chance at finding and developing those strengths with our top tips here: https://t.co/C35a2vg1rG

The type of conversations our young people are able to have will determine the types of friendships they are able to build. Is there a tricky conversation you need to have? Set the example for the young people in your life and show them you can stay connected through discomfort.

Last week our team got the opportunity to spark some interesting conversations at Pacific Hills Christian School with the Year 10s. Here's what the teachers had to say about it.

Excited to have submitted my thesis to complete my Master of Science in Coaching Psychology at The University of Sydney.

Specifically my research focused on the role approach and avoidant goals played in the well-being and engagement outcomes of volunteers.

Nick has been a part of the BB community since nearly the beginning. From volunteering his time to get our first ever National Leadership Camp off the ground to building data analysis systems for us, Nick's fingerprint is on a lot of what Burn Bright is today.

We need to help young people build their communities so their communities can build them. We've put together a field guide on the foundations of a community and how to create it for your young people. Take a look at it here: https://t.co/AoXnRYSSIF

For World Teachers' Day today, we get to celebrate the teachers that have shown up for their students every day, have created new opportunities and ways of learning, and taken on the role of being a friend and a mentor for their students this year as well. #BrightFuture

[Burn Bright @BurnBrightAU]

As schools come back in NSW this week, we can't wait to be back working with students and teachers to gear up for the rest of 2021 and build solid foundations for 2022. What's one thing you're looking forward to for the rest of this year?

When teachers consistently prioritize building strong connections w/ students, research shows there’s a significant impact on kids’ long-term wellbeing as well as their ability to learn and stay engaged in schools; for @edutopia https://t.co/bREgLMDsnF
