The Science of Resilient & Thriving Youth
April 28 @ 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
Join us for our Speaker Series: Conversations that Matter
Young people today are growing up in a world of constant comparison, digital overload, academic pressure, uncertainty about the future, and rising rates of anxiety and disconnection. At the same time, they possess extraordinary potential for creativity, meaning, leadership, and growth.
The adults who support them — educators, caregivers, mentors, and youth-serving professionals — are being asked to meet complex emotional needs while navigating burnout, limited resources, and rapidly changing cultural dynamics.
The science of resilience offers a powerful bridge. In this session, we translate cutting-edge research in positive psychology and human development into practical strategies adults can use immediately to strengthen coping, belonging, motivation, and hope. Participants will learn how everyday interactions, environments, and role-modeling can transform stress into growth and help young people not just survive these times, but truly thrive.
