Keynote speaker, educator and award-winning author of "The Emotionally Healthy Child," Maureen Healy speaks to educators and parents alike about how to raise emotionally healthy and ultimately, happier children in today’s world.

“I do what I do because I want to see more children grow up happier.” Maureen Healy

Speaker Maureen Healy is an educator, award-winning author, and leader in the field of children’s emotional health. Her best-selling book, The Emotionally Healthy Child, has a preface from His Holiness the Dalai Lama (New World Library, 2018) and gives adults the ideas they need to nurture positive emotional health in today’s children. Her prior book, Growing Happy Kids, focused on cultivating confidence and notably won several awards. She also regularly blogs at Psychology Today, which has reached millions of adults worldwide.

Unique about Maureen is her global background teaching and counseling children on the how of becoming emotionally healthy. She’s even lived at the Base of the Himalayas in 2007 and taught Tibetan refugee children. In subsequent years, Maureen has spoken across Europe, Asia and the Americas helping adults gain a fresh perspective and positive strategies. In 2017, Maureen co-founded the “World Happiness Summit” for parents, teachers and professionals wanting to know the how of children’s emotional health.

Complimenting Maureen’s practical experience, she is traditionally trained in the field of child development and positive psychology. She holds a BA and MBA from Clark University in Worcester, MA and completed her PhD coursework in child clinical psychology from Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, CA. Additionally, she’s authored a social and emotional learning (SEL) curriculum for K-8 students, which has been implemented in several independent schools.

Speaker Maureen Healy’s wisdom and practicality has also been featured on TV, Radio and across all media outlets such as: Disney’s “The Fatherhood Project” with Hank Azaria, Scholastic, Parents Magazine, PBS, Martha Stewart Living Radio and television such as the CW’s “San Diego Living” as well as “Happier TV” with Tal Ben-Shahar. Her insight into how to help today’s children grow up healthier and happier is why audiences love her, and she gets the highest ratings repeatedly.

“I hope Maureen Healy’s book – The Emotionally Healthy Child – will contribute to a more wholesome education for future generations.” – His Holiness the Dalai Lama

The Emotionally Healthy Child: Mindset + Habits

  • Emotional health is widely misunderstood.
  • When adults (parents, teachers, and professionals) learn the ideas and strategies of positive emotional health things get easier.
  • Cultivating a mindset of emotional health is key for long-term health.
  • Explaining things to children – in age appropriate ways, helps them grasp how emotions work, and what they can do with them (especially the tough ones!).
  • Emotional health is a precursor for happiness, and every adult (parent, teacher) wants their children to become happier.

Emotional Balance: The Whole Brain Approach

  • Children who learn to make decisions from a whole brain approach make better choices, especially regarding their emotional well-being.
  • Maureen shares how to help creative (right brain) children bring their logic (left brain) online sooner, and vice versa.
  • Boys and girls (and us adults too!) who can make integrated choices (right and left brain) can learn to find emotional balance, reset themselves, and make choices from a calmer place.

Well-being Centered Schools

  • Schools throughout the United States (and world) are refocusing their efforts on nurturing student well-being along with academic achievement.
  • Well-being centered schools do 5 things differently, which revealed a commitment to nurturing the “whole” child and has produced higher academic outcomes and measured pro-social behaviors.
  • With her engaging style, Maureen also covers the latest scientific findings on violence prevention, bullying, and at-risk student populations so more schools can become centers of well-being.
