The Power Of Resilience

Real stories of unimaginable loss and extraordinary resilience – an inspiring kōrero on navigating life’s hardest moments.

Dr Lucy Hone, Jake Bailey and Dr Maysoon Salama know about navigating life's toughest challenges. As head boy at Christchurch Boys' High in 2015, Bailey delivered his end-of-year speech from a wheelchair, only a week after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer.

Salama lost her son in the 2019 Al Noor Mosque attack in Christchurch, and Hone, having lost her daughter in a road accident, wrote Resilient Grieving; to help herself and others cope with devastating loss. They come together for a generous conversation.
