Following our community-wide read of The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt, parents, caregivers, educators, and community members are invited to gather for a morning of conversation, learning, and shared commitment around the mental health and well-being of children and youth. Together, we’ll explore how we can take collective action to support young people in an increasingly anxious world. You don't have to have participated in a book club or even read The Anxious Generation to participate in this event!
