Fortitude Minds is led by domestic and family violence survivor and advocate Joslene Abboud. With over a decade of lived experience navigating the impacts of domestic and family violence, Joslene understands firsthand the lasting effects trauma can have on individuals, children, and families. Through her own journey of recovery, she recognised the need for practical, accessible educational supplies and emotional wellbeing resources that help people understand their emotions, build resilience, develop healthy relationships, and support healing. This lived experience, combined with a passion for prevention, early intervention, and education, inspired the creation of Fortitude Minds' wellbeing and educational resources. Today, Fortitude Minds is dedicated to equipping children, young people, and adults with the tools they need for mental health support, enabling them to build emotional wellbeing, strengthen relationships, and create safer futures.

Fortitude Minds provides a variety of educational supplies focused on trauma-informed wellbeing, emotional wellbeing resources, and fostering respectful relationships for individuals aged 3 through adulthood. Our offerings are structured around the Fortitude 4™ Framework: Explore, Understand, Express, and Manage. Through our reusable workbooks and journals, individuals can cultivate emotional awareness, emotional regulation, resilience, and communication skills while enhancing social-emotional learning. Our resources also serve as vital mental health support, aiding in prevention, early intervention, and recovery. They offer practical educational tools to help navigate emotions, build confidence, strengthen wellbeing, and promote healthier relationships at home, in schools, and throughout the community.

At Fortitude Minds, we are dedicated to providing high-quality, accessible, and affordable educational supplies and emotional wellbeing resources that make a meaningful difference in people's lives. Our resources are specifically designed to equip individuals with practical, lifelong skills in emotional awareness, emotional regulation, resilience, communication, and respectful relationships. By utilising reusable formats and age-appropriate learning, we strive to deliver lasting value for individuals, families, educators, schools, and support services. We firmly believe that every child, young person, and adult deserves access to mental health support tools that enhance wellbeing, strengthen relationships, heal from trauma, and empower them to navigate life's challenges with confidence.

Fortitude Minds is passionate about creating positive change through education, wellbeing, and prevention-focused initiatives within the community. We collaborate with schools, community organizations, support services, domestic and family violence services, youth programs, and community networks to deliver emotional wellbeing resources and respectful relationships education. Through workshops, presentations, the distribution of educational supplies, and community engagement activities, we help children, young people, and adults develop emotional awareness, emotional regulation, resilience, healthy communication skills, and relationship knowledge. Our goal is to increase access to practical wellbeing resources, support prevention and early intervention, and provide meaningful mental health support for individuals impacted by trauma, adversity, and domestic, family, and sexual violence. By working alongside our communities, we are helping to build emotionally strong individuals, strengthen families, and create safer futures.
