Why?

We believe in fostering dialog through teaching and learning: from each other, but also from the experts. A sampling of recent events includes:

Multiple screenings of Angst, the mental health awareness documentary
Workshops on fostering resilience and healthy coping skills, featuring adolescent development expert Kenneth Ginsburg, M.D., M.S.Ed., FAAP
Pathways Music Fest, in partnership with Anne Arundel Medical Center Foundation: a safe and fun Friday night offering for middle schoolers
Playshop, with Jeff and Lee Franklin: a workshop exploring the benefits of imaginative play on healthy brain development
Challenge Success survey at Severna Park Middle School, a tool that is designed to help schools make data-driven decisions to improve student well-being and engagement in learning.
Our kick-off event was a well-attended panel discussion of clergy, coaches and community members.
