Our guest today has a truly amazing story that should encourage all of us. After a traumatic childhood Gregory was always trying to escape from his surroundings and became something of an escape artist. Except that he did not escape and his efforts just led to painful encounters with the country Police of NSW. When his mother deceived him and left him at an orphanage in Armidale he spent 19 months experiencing institutional abuse. To make matters worse he was thinking all the time that his sisters were enduring something similar at the same institution after they were separated from him by the nuns on arrival.<a href="http://www.dadsontheair.com.au/storage/shows/Dads_on_the_Air_2020-01-16.mp3"target="_blank">Listen Now (mp3)</a><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DadsOnTheAir?a=zH8Wzs3_Sns:FcdMfydGDjA:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DadsOnTheAir?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DadsOnTheAir?a=zH8Wzs3_Sns:FcdMfydGDjA:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DadsOnTheAir?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DadsOnTheAir?a=zH8Wzs3_Sns:FcdMfydGDjA:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DadsOnTheAir?i=zH8Wzs3_Sns:FcdMfydGDjA:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DadsOnTheAir?a=zH8Wzs3_Sns:FcdMfydGDjA:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/DadsOnTheAir?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DadsOnTheAir/~4/zH8Wzs3_Sns" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>

At first reluctant to even be in India he soon found that he was learning from his students how to develop the psychological foundation for success in all educational and physical pursuits. Hugh&#8217;s trip finished up being full of surprises. He was surrounded by so much poverty yet there was also happiness and contentment. Working on his observations Hugh was able to develop The Resilience Project for application in Australia and backed up his approach with technical qualifications obtained by completing a Master&#8217;s Degree at University. In Australia many school children are anxious and depressed. They spend too much time looking at their mobile phones and other devices. Individual sports people such as some of our leading cricketers are needing to take time off to improve their mental health and sporting teams have earned a reputation for misbehaving when they seem to have everything presented on a platter.

In his book <a href="https://scribepublications.com.au/books-authors/books/the-boy-from-baradine" target="_blank">The Boy from Baradine</a> we follow Craig on his journey.
