We are proud to introduce the new home of Resilience Builders — a fresh, modern space designed to share our story, our expertise and our mission to help people thrive under pressure.
Founded in 2017 by Dr David Buttifant and Nick Farr, Resilience Builders was created from two very different worlds: elite sport and the high-stakes environments of mountaineering and policing. What united our founders then, and still drives us now, is a shared belief that resilience is a skill anyone can build, regardless of age, background or experience.
This new website has been built as a genuine resource for families, schools, teams and organisations. Inside you’ll find practical information, tools and insights on how to build resilience, perform better and strengthen wellbeing. From the latest research on mental health, to evidence based strategies you can apply immediately, our goal is to give you access to the knowledge and techniques that create real, lasting change. Whether you are looking to improve your own resilience, support your students, or elevate your team’s performance, you’ll find plenty here to guide you.
At the heart of everything we do is a simple truth: life is uncertain, and challenge is inevitable, but with the right support people can grow stronger than they ever imagined. Our founders and facilitators have lived this across elite sport, high-altitude expeditions, corporate environments and communities all over Australia. This site is our way of bringing that collective experience to you — a hub of inspiration, education and practical advice to help you navigate adversity, build healthy habits and support good mental health.
We’re excited to have you here. Explore, learn and reach out any time. Your journey to greater resilience starts now.
