Keynote: What Preteens & Teens Wish You Knew - And Why We Need Their Wisdom More than Ever
Across all genders, today’s youth are navigating shifting cultural norms, social media pressures, and rising disconnection. But they also carry vital insights—if we know how to listen. This talk explores how to better understand and support the complex social-emotional lives.
