Body Image
School demographic is one that Luke loves to help, and makes a great connection with. It doesn't matter what the demographic is though, we have found that all suffer from the same internal battles; worrying what people think, living up to labels/expectations, social awkwardness, anxiety, dealing with past trauma, and not knowing who they really are or where to fit in. Through on the edge of your seat stories, Luke's talks have proven to help in all of these areas.
As well as being guest speaker for the students, Luke also holds Teacher & Student Stress Workshops, Parent Talks, and is also youth speaker for Primary Schools. The parent evening, and teachers stress workshop is something that works extremely well, as not only are we all on the same page with language and topics after the talks, but it provides the parents, and teachers, with knowledge to help their own mental health and mindset with connecting to their kids.
WHAT THEY SAY
"While our children in Beechworth have fairly sheltered lives there were many great messages for our children. I had very good feedback from the parents. I only wish I had of opened up the parent evening to the wider community. An excellent true and raw account of a life changed for the better with positive self talk."
- Katherine Hancock, Teacher, Beechworth Primary
"Hi Luke, I go to Blaxland East and I would like to tell you my story. I have very bad anxiety and I always feel down on myself. I'm always sad and I don't want to go to school but when I heard your story I thought and I realized that you got through it so I can too. You really inspired me. Thanks and good luck in your gym and I hope you help other kids by telling them your story."
- Yr 5 Student, Blaxland Primary
