Kids On the Brink: Raising Emotionally Healthy Youth
In this seminar, Donna Jackson Nakazawa will share the latest science on female brain development, insight into the unprecedented current challenges our youth are facing, why so many teens are in crisis today, and how these variables factor into youth mental health. She'll offer an array of actionable strategies, tools, and approaches that parents, families, and organizations can utilize to better support our youth.

Donna will share highlights from her national Post-It Note Project, in which 1000s of high school and middle school students have shared with her what they wish they could tell their parents but can't, and what they wish the adults in their lives would say and do differently. She will also share 12 science-based steps for talking to youth in neuroprotective ways and building healthier parent-child connection.
