Resiliency advocate and Philadelphia pediatrician Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg returns to Evansville for the fourth time on Tuesday, June 15, only this visit will be over Zoom and accessible to everyone free-of-charge. He will deliver two talks with a focus on ways caring adults can help young people flourish, even with the added stress of the pandemic. 

“In this age of uncertainty, we must join together as adults to build resilience in our children and teens,” said Dr. Ginsburg. “We do so best when we model how we draw strengths from others and learn to manage stressors in our lives.” 

The nationally-recognized expert provides guidance and support for the work of Resilient Evansville, a collaborative movement to help children and teens thrive.
