Dr. Michael Ungar (Canada Research Chair in Child, Family and Community Resilience, Family Therapist and Director, Resilience Research Centre at Dalhousie University) will speak on how families, schools, service providers and communities working together to create resilience in children and youth.
Dr Ungar’s visit to Lanark County is stimulated by 2024 Planet Youth Lanark County survey findings showing our youth are expressing increasing concerned about feeling safe. It is also relevant to topics covered in a community meeting on Dec 2/24 in Perth.
