With rising rates of stress, anxiety, depression, and suicide, how might parents support their children to become self-reliant, responsible, and empowered? Linda Inlay, a parent and educator of 45 years and the Executive Director of the Ho’ala Foundation for Education, invites parents from throughout the community to learn about the guiding principals of Awakening Wisdom.

Awakening Wisdom is a Hawaii-birthed program which aims to develop school cultures that cultivate social-emotional wellbeing in students. The program has influenced thousands of students to become responsible, compassionate, and empowered human beings who contribute to their communities. At this talk, parents will learn how to apply concepts from Awakening Wisdom in their own homes.

“We were empowered with the skills to raise awake and conscious, responsible and resourceful citizens of our community. From this way of educating children where cooperation means more than competition, and listening and conflict clearing are skills actually taught and valued, I believe that the leaders of the world will spring.”
