Afternoon Plenary: From Surviving to Thriving: Intentional Caring for Youth Mental Health
Description

This inspiring talk invites parents, caregivers, and community members to see youth mental health as something we can nurture every day—not just when there is a crisis. Drawing on stories and tools from her new book Rise and Thrive Dr. Alfiee shares simple, real life practices that help young people feel seen, heard, and supported. You’ll learn how small shifts in language, routines, and connection can build courage, resilience, and a deep sense of belonging for the young people in your life—and for the younger version of you who still needs care, too.
