Headspace Hero was a resounding success at the VR Space in Caroline Springs earlier this month, when Brahma Kumaris hosted a day for young people throughout Melbourne’s north west.
The Brahma Kumaris group based out of Point Cook previously held a session in Hoppers Crossing in May.
More than 50 youths attended the Caroline Springs event, which was designed to help youths manage challenges in their day-to-day lives.
Speaker Ananya Tomar guided attendees through practical techniques on how to stay calm, focused, and resilient in today’s fast-paced, often overwhelming world.
She emphasised the importance of mindfulness and inner strength, encouraging participants to be ’heroes’ of their own mental well-being.
“This session wasn’t just about learning new concepts; it was about creating a space where youths could connect and explore solutions to the challenges they face today,” she said.
“With so much going on in their lives, it’s clear how vital these kinds of experiences are. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, ‘The future depends on what we do in the present’.
“Today’s youth are the leaders of tomorrow, and these sessions are helping them build a strong foundation for the future.
“We also shared crucial insights on how to develop the prefrontal cortex during these formative years, which is essential for decision-making, emotional regulation, and problem-solving.”
