Adelaide's Wellbeing and Resilience Centre Uses Positive Thinking for Prevention of Mental Illness
Los Angeles, California (August 8, 2014) – The Wellbeing and
Resilience Centre in the Adelaide-based South Australian Health and Medical
Research Institute announced it is developing modern principles for teaching
and promoting positive thinking among students in South Australia. These principles
will be used in over 200 schools in the region.
The medical staff of the Wellbeing and Resilience Centre
believes helping students change their mindset so they will think more
positively will decrease the likelihood of these young people developing mental
illness later in life.
Wellbeing and Resilience Centre director Gabrielle Kelly
said that people trained to think more effectively “may be able to prevent
themselves from falling into some the thinking traps that head people down
towards the mental illness curve.”
Jenna Newland, spokesperson for EnergyPositiv.com, an
information resource on positive thinking and creating positive energy,
stresses the importance of people developing a mindset for positive thinking as
early as possible.
“The power of positive thinking should be taught to
children in schools,” states Newland. “Positive thinking, coupled by
positive action, sets children up to become healthier and more successful
adults.”
Newland adds, “Children who are positive thinkers are
more resilient against bullying and peer pressure. They are also more capable
of handling stressful situations more productively.”
In addition, Director Kelly stated that proper fitness,
nutrition and sleep are also important factors in promoting positive mental
health among students. She also said it's important to note that things can
still go wrong despite having a positive attitude.
“Things do go wrong,” according to Ms. Kelly,
“but it's a question of what you do about it when normal life-challenges
hit you.”
