And that connection will position YOU to guide your child to bounce back from life’s challenges and forge a meaningful and successful life, while also helping improve your parenting ways. Guest Speaker: Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg Dr. Ginsburg is a pediatrician specializing in Adolescent Medicine at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and Co‐Founder and Director of Programs at Center for Parent and Teen Communication.

His goal is to translate the best of what is known from research and practice into practical approaches parents, professionals and communities can use to prepare children and teens to thrive.
