AUT Research Associate and Keynote speaker Dr Lucy Hone specialises in applying the latest research to empower people to become ‘active participants in their own wellbeing’. Her quest is to take the best scientific findings out of academia and bring them to people in their everyday lives. At this event she will provide compelling evidence why wellbeing is worth investing in – while also improving audience wellbeing.
​
We are excited to offer this opportunity Marlborough and surrounding areas:
  • schools and early learning centres
  • businesses
  • organisations
  • parents
  • coaches
  • all those interested in enhancing mental wellbeing for themselves and their wider community.
​
You will be rejuvenated and inspired by this dynamic, relevant, and poignant presentation from a leading expert in the wellbeing space. Learn the latest research and leave armed with practical strategies!
​
Dr Lucy Hone is a research associate at AUT University and Director at The New Zealand Institute of Wellbeing and Resilience. Having been trained by the thought-leaders in the field at the University of Pennsylvania, she completed a PhD in public health at AUT. She now assists organisations – from leading law and aviation firms, to schools and health practitioners – to design and implement wellbeing initiatives creating sustained and meaningful change. The widespread respect for Lucy’s work is demonstrated by two large-scale projects she is currently running involving dozens of NZ schools, backed by Ministry of Education funding.

The sudden death of her 12-year old daughter, Abi, and friends in 2014, forced Lucy to turn her substantial academic training and professional practice to foster resilience in very personal circumstances. The blog she wrote in the aftermath of Abi’s death attracted international attention and resulted in the best-selling non-fiction title, What Abi Taught Us, Strategies for Resilient Grieving (Allen & Unwin, 2016), now available as Resilient Grieving in the US, UK and NZ. She is now much in demand as a Keynote speaker and workshop presenter fostering resilience among diverse populations and organisations, both in NZ and internationally.
​
She is a member of the NZAPP’s executive committee, a policy advisor for Canterbury’s All Right? campaign, the conference convenor for the Positive Education New Zealand conference, and NZ’s Global Representative for the International Positive Education Network. 
We are thrilled to be bringing a speaker of Lucy's calibre to Blenheim, to share insights from her work at the official launch of our NEW mental wellness magazine.
