Technology has transformed the way young people grow, connect, and experience the world—but it has also introduced new challenges, from cyber-bullying to heightened feelings of inadequacy. How can we help them develop the resilience they need to thrive?

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation as we explore the modern developmentallandscape through the lens of Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation

Together, we’ll examine how today’s digital world is shaping youth mental health and discuss proven strategies to foster resilience.

·    Hear from PEAR & Harvard’s Dr. Gil Noam on how resilience can be cultivated to help young people face life’s challenges.

·    Explore the impact of technology on youth development and mental well-being.

·    Celebrate the new partnership between PEAR and Big Thought Institute—bringing innovative, research-based solutions to youth-serving communities.
