Parenting for Resilience and Well-Being in a Changing World: Navigating Modern Life with Children and Adolescents
Presented by Gordon Neufeld, Ph.D.
Thursday, November 20, 2025 | Calgary, ab
Workshop Description
We all want our children to thrive – to become all they were meant to be, despite the challenges they may face. But how is this to be accomplished? What conditions are required for optimal functioning? How do we build resilience and support well-being in an increasingly wounding and stress-filled world? Dr. Neufeld will put the pieces together to reveal rather surprising answers to this quintessential question of human development. Regardless of the challenge, this knowledge will help set priorities as well as help focus on what matters most. A consciousness of the irreducible needs of children and youth is a much needed antidote to a society that has become outcome driven and a culture that has lost its intuitive wisdom.
