Building Resilience Through Values: The Radiant Rainbow of Resilience

In this course, psychiatrist and suicide prevention educator Dr. Manaan Kar Ray, Associate Professor and Director of Adult Mental Health, Princess Alexandra Hospital, Brisbane, introduces a values-based, whole-school resilience framework that translates evidence-informed concepts into practical classroom culture. The course maps an “all-of-school continuum” of values learning, clarifies how the HOPE framework operationalises meaning and action, and shows how teachers can build shared language and daily rituals that strengthen emotional literacy, connection, and growth. Clinicians and educators will gain a transferable model for supporting distress upstream – by embedding resilience as a lived culture rather than an add-on program – while retaining clear pathways for practical application across developmental stages.
