Luke Kennedy: Parent/Community Metal Health Session

Session Info:

Luke’s parent talk is deep! And at every one he does, there’s tears, laughs, plenty of Ahhhh moments, and the parents leave inspired, and with simple yet extremely effective take-home strategies to improve their connection with their kids, and also to improve their own mental health.

The parent sessions are always a huge hit, and it’s the best way (as well as a 3 pronged approach with teacher stress workshop) to get the most out of Luke visiting the school. It allows everybody to be on the same page with the language, messaging, and mental health strategies

Luke shows how when we come into this world we are our true-self with unlimited potential and happiness. As life goes on though we get disconnected from this true-self –  Some dramatic events will occur, we may do some regretful actions, or get negative beliefs about ourselves or labelled with certain things that take us away from this true-happy-self. The further we get away from the true-self, the unhappier we become because we’re not being ourselves. Labels, ego, and worrying what people think, crushes productivity and results in an overactive and doubtful mind – a feeling of being lost, depressed, flat, anxious, and socially awkward, is a result of this.

Luke’s talks have proven to help in all of these areas

As well as being guest speaker for Parent Talks, Luke also holds Teacher & Student Stress Workshops, speaker for High Schools, and is also youth speaker for Primary Schools. The parent evening, and teachers stress workshop is something that works extremely well, as not only are we all on the same page with language and topics after the talks, but it provides the parents, and teachers, with knowledge to help their own mental health and mindset with connecting to their kids.

Topics covered:

  • Mental Health and self-care
  • Resilence
  • Bullying (also self-bullying and negative self talk)
  • How to be yourself and stop worrying what people think
  • Drugs and alcohol
  • Reducing stress and anxiety
