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 is now proudly working with the following clubs.

We had a great turnout to the safeTALK seminar last week run by Josh, Danielle and Chelsea from Thrive in Sport & Rec at the DFC where we learnt how to be suicide alert.
Thanks to the team for providing some great training and insight on how to recognise invitations for help and connect people to resources. #keepsafe
