Technical Reports
The course was really interesting, a fabulous refresher of the research behind YCDI! and the components of the program. Audio and video clips showing the language of YCDI! in action were especially helpful in giving examples of how to frame conversations with students and parents. The points for reflection at the end of each module helped consolidate my thinking. Having the accompanying course guide was so helpful as I didn’t need to furiously scribble down notes as I was listening. As someone who has used the YCDI! program for over 10 years, the Best Practice course was so valuable in re-centering my thinking.

Professor Michael Bernard joined Positive Schools in 2017 to deliver an outstanding keynote presentation on building resiliency. He presented with a perfect blend of humour, sincerity and knowledge, assuring that the audience were engaged, informed and inspired. His content rich presentation offered useful information and a wealth of practical strategies to help teachers build their own resiliency and also better support their colleagues and students. Michael was a pleasure to work with both on and off the stage. He received unanimously fabulous feedback from delegates and other presenters. I recommend him highly as a skilled presenter and esteemed expert in mental health.
