In this presentation, Dr. Karin Hodges will shed light on the systems and professions that have inadvertently contributed to the rise of childhood mental illness and the widespread mental health crisis. She'll explain the mechanisms that grow mental illness versus emotional well-being, and describe the essential resources that children require today for health and healing. 

She will provide a glimmer of hope in the fight against teen mental illness, offering a widely applicable solution  that has the potential for global impact. If you're aiming to help kids heal or if you want them to thrive, don't miss out on this enriching educational experience!
