About the Event
“Emotional Agility is the ability to be with your emotions with curiosity, compassion, and the courage to take values-connected steps…. Raising emotionally agile children begins in helping them to show up to all their feelings, including the difficult ones.” – Susan David, Ph.D.
This October Wisdom event is specially created to inspire students, parents, and educators to have a collective focus and curiosity on: One Second of Hope; How Building Resiliency Saves Lives. Progress, Not Perfect.
We invite you to join a virtual + interactive + real-time coaching with Youth Suicide Prevention Specialist Leslie Weirich and Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Professor at DePaul University Joseph Chen to:

- Build up emotional ability, sources of strength and resilience to thrive
- Understand what perfectionistic mindset looks like and its consequences
- Inspire hope to travelers on difficult paths who need encouragement
