Our youth are often engaged and invested in structures that run counter to the development of resilience and a growth mindset. Many young people are discovering they lack the flexibility and malleability they need to manage adversity.Resilience is the ability to achieve in the face of adversity: to bend, rather than break.

We’ll explore how our differences, struggles and investments can make us more gracious and productive participants in these complex times.
