YOUTHCARE BUZ PROGRAM

COMING SOON!

Build Up Zone is a program designed to support the development of social and emotional competencies in primary-aged students. Our suite of five programs covers topics such as friendship, cooperation and teamwork, resolving conflict, identifying and handling feelings, and responding to bullying.

This strength-based program utilises games, activities and stories, engaging students as they learn about themselves and their peers.

Build Up Zone is founded on the idea that “prevention is better than cure”. Instead of devising a solution after a problem has been identified, the emphasis is on creating a healthy school culture and building a positive environment which empowers students.
