Promoting Resilience, School Belonging and Positive Mental Health for Adolescents
Presenter: Ian Shochet, Queensland University of Technology
This presentation will discuss our core finding from over 27 years of research of our strength-based approach to promoting resilience and wellbeing in adolescents. I will talk about our conceptual model of resilience and how it has been applied to promote the optimal protective factors. Exemplars will be provided from our Resourceful Adolescent Program (RAP) of the key protective factors that can be promoted at the adolescent (RAP-A), Parent/Caregiver (RAP-P) and Teacher levels (RAP-T). I will discuss in particular the vital role of school belonging.

Salutogenesis: aligning theory and practice in Senior Health
Presenter: Louise McCuaig, Matthew Flinders Anglican College
Drawing on the rich experience of Senior Health teachers, this session will focus on ensuring that teachers' understanding and use of salutogenic theory reflects a robust translation and alignment of the core tenets and principles of this theoretical approach to health. Participants in this session will engage with a suite of tasks that seeks to establish:
- Core and critical features of salutogenic theory
- Individual and collective understanding of robust translations of salutogenic theory into Senior Health Education learning experiences and units of work
- Mechanisms to ensure that middle years units of work provide an effective preparation for students' engagement in Senior Health studies.
