Strong Minds is a whole school approach to character development and emotional and mental well-being. Every person has a combination of 24 character strengths and if developed correctly can have a significant positive impact on their lives. Research has shown that using your character strengths can help to protect against, manage and overcome problems, improve relationships and enhance health and well-being. Character Strengths are the positive parts of your personality that impact how you think, feel and behave, and are the keys to you being your best self. Character strengths form a central part of Westmead's Positive Education model because using these capacities helps us to flourish, overcome challenges and nurture our relationships.
