Summary

For those unaware, Hugh is the school teacher turned mental health pioneer behind The Resilience Project - an organisation that works with schools, sports clubs, and businesses to provide evidence-based, positive mental health strategies to build resilience and happiness. In our interview with Hugh, we talk about it all: From the pivotal trip to Northern India that changed his life, to the impact his sister’s battle with Anorexia Nervosa had on his perspective.
