Graceland Happiness Project Study Guide

The Graceland Happiness Project (2015 ABCTV series) explores the complexity of having depression and also being the friend of someone who is suffering from mental illness. When Tim Dormer won Big Brother, he promised to take his friend Ben Zabel to Graceland, the home of Ben’s childhood idol Elvis Presley. The ABC has produced a study guide aimed at teachers in Health and Physical Education and PDHPE, and outlines links to the Australian Curriculum and NSW PDHPE Syllabus. Exploring universal themes, the study guide’s classroom activities cover: · Resilience · Mental fitness · Friendships · Respectful relationships · Mental health · Community connections
