We are a passionate team of experts in social, emotional and physical learning, on a mission to empower human intelligence in the world.
Life Skills Group was founded by Nikki Bonus in 2001 in Sydney, Australia to address the urgent need for learning social-emotional intelligence in schools and communities. We have grown to be an international collective of over 80 team members. We partner with education sectors across states and districts to educate and empower students, teachers, families and to act as a voice for the voiceless.
There is now global recognition that skills of social, emotional, and physical learning are of critical importance in education and that these skills will be the key to empowering our future generation of leaders.
Life Skills Group is unique among service providers as our programs draw upon the Health and Physical Education curriculum, social-emotional learning frameworks, mindfulness science, and positive psychology in combination with effective pedagogical practices. Our programs consistently achieve high levels of impact and the thousands of students who have completed our programs are better equipped to build a “flourishing world”.
Life Skills Group advocates for young people who need to develop “creative, critical thinking and collaborative skills and build vital attributes such as curiosity, courage, and resilience.”
