See keynotes with Maureen HealyEvery adult wants to nurture inner strength and resilience in their children. Teachers want to help struggling learners, parents want children to bounce back from the emotional hiccups of the day, and families want to feel stronger together. The upside is there is a science of resilience, and we can learn – and in turn, teach it to our children.

Maureen offers complimentary strategies to help students understand and express their emotions constructively (SEL), build resilience, and form a healthy mindset, especially after the pandemic.
