CHILDREN across the Northern Rivers are learning to tackle anxiety and build resilience through the Little Legends Summit, hosted by East Coast Care Connect.<\/p>\n

The program features activities such as breathing exercises, ice baths, and yoga designed to help manage stress while fostering independence and social skills in a supportive environment. Participants also enjoy soccer, touch footy, and other outdoor activities, with future events to include surfing and rock climbing.<\/p>\n

“We wanted to give back to the community,” event organiser Ben Sattler said. “This is designed to meet a growing need to help equip kids with the tools they need in their daily lives.”<\/p>\n

“It’s all around resilience, and we’re seeing first-hand how some of them who have been a few times are building on these skills.”<\/p>\n

Facilitators include breath work and cold exposure expert Ben Berry and personal trainer Johnny Gannon, who guide participants through sessions aimed at empowering both body and mind.<\/p>\n

This year, East Coast Care Connect is expanding its programs across the region, including schools, hospitals, and junior sporting clubs.<\/p>\n

The Lennox Head summit will run on January 14 and 21 at Ross Lane, while Tweed Heads events are scheduled at the PCYC on January 16 and 23.<\/p>\n
