Hi, I’m Julie Blackburn, creator of The Growth Mindset Hub.

With a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours), a Master of Educational and Developmental Psychology, and Area of Practice Endorsement (AoPE) in Educational and Developmental Psychology, I have worked as a primary school guidance counsellor and in private practice, supporting children and families.

I design evidence-informed, child-friendly resources that build confidence, resilience, and flexible thinking. Grounded in growth mindset research, including the work of Dr Carol Dweck, these programs translate psychological science into practical classroom tools.

Designed for children aged 5 to 10, the Growth Mindset Gang help students understand that effort strengthens the brain, mistakes are part of learning, practise builds skill, perseverance leads to progress, and trying new things builds courage.

Thank you for being here. I hope these resources support you and the children in your life to embrace growth, celebrate effort, and enjoy the learning journey.
