Many students today are struggling. Pressures inside and outside the classroom are resulting in anxiety, depression, and other issues that are keeping them from fully thriving. At Fusion Academy, we are passionate about fostering academic, social, and emotional growth for our students so they can move from struggling to succeeding. For that reason, we are bringing local parents, educators, and clinical professionals for a conference focused on resilience.
Fusion’s first-ever FusED Conference centers around the important topic of Building Resilience with our Youth. The half-day conference will include a breakfast, two keynote speakers, breakout sessions, as well as opportunities to explore and connect with local resources.
Breakout session topic options include: college readiness, parenting in the digital age, parenting teens with anxiety, and the cognitive development of adolescents.
Registration Required
Tickets are $25 until September 1st, then will increase to $35.
