Sport & Recreation

THRIVE is all about helping us to be at our best. Research has found that there are six simple actions we can all do daily to help us feel good, do good and live good.

The science of positive psychology is being used to provide community sport and recreation clubs with a structured approach to improve wellbeing, participation and enhance club culture.

THRIVE in partnership with Peninsula Health is supporting sporting clubs across the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula. For further information or to register your interest please contact sarah.roney@education.vic.gov.au
