We’ve been working with Ash and Growing with Gratitude for over 8 years. Through thorough research and Ash’s passion, GWG embeds relatable and teachable habits and skills that are easily referenced beyond the classroom. He speaks from an evidence base and continues to adapt and evolve his programs with new advarres in the student wellbeing field. His educational background ensure sessions are pedagogically constructed and he is an ideal guest speaker for staff PD. Parent information nights, or as a guest presenter of the content for students.

Growing With Gratitude (GWG), has been nothing short of remarkable for our primary school students at Al Ansar International School in Sharjah, UAE. This mental health and wellbeing prevention program has truly made a lasting impact on our students, thanks to the dedication and hard work put in by Ash. As the principal of Al Ansar International School, I am proud to see the positive impact that GWG has had on our students and our school community as a whole. It has been a transformative experience, and I am grateful for the opportunity to witness our students grow and thrive with the support of this incredible program.

Our students couldn’t stop talking about how great their sessions were with Ash! With a background in education, Ash is a terrific presenter providing the students with a great balance between learning the content and participating in fun activities and games! All of our staff got a lot out of the sessions which a really well supported by the online program and resources. We would definitely recommend GWG to all schools hoping to further develop habits of gratitude, kindness and empathy for their students.

Association International School, in Ghana, West Africa became a part of GWG. Our students celebrated gratitude throughout the week and discussions, card making, posters, and the use of resources from ‘ Growing with Gratitude’ was abuzz in the school atmosphere. Ash, starting this venture when he was just a teacher some years ago and his venture snow-balling into a global event showcased the purpose and passion in which this initiative was started. I hope many more schools will be absorbed and we take time to teach students how to grow with gratitude.

The Growing with Gratitude program has significantly enriched our IB PYP curriculum. Its mission to nurture the wellbeing of our youth and equip them with essential skills aligns seamlessly with the IB mission, vision, and goals. Through this program, we’ve observed a positive impact on our students, empowering them with tools for greater resilience, gratitude and happiness. I highly recommend the Growing With Gratitude Program to any educator seeking to support the holistic development of their students.

Our school loved having Ash, from Growing with Gratitude visit to run in-person sessions. The activity based sessions were engaging and well tailored to suit the range of age groups within our small school setting. We’re really looking forward to using the Growing with Gratitude online program and resources as well.

Launceston Grammar have been pleased to work with Growing With Gratitude in delivering programs to students to explore their leadership journey, as well as better understand themselves and others strengths. Ash delivered programs to Grade 11 students as well as Grade 6 students with a mix of fun based activities as well as theory sessions.

I was fortunate to attend a Growing with Gratitude staff professional development with a number of staff from my school. Ash’s presentation style was engaging and entertaining, providing participants with the skills and messages of the Growing with Gratitude program to take back to their schools. This session connected our staff with activities focused on gratitude, kindness and resilience to share with students making a positive impact on the wellbeing framework of our school.
