Thriving Through the Pandemic

Location: Online via Zoom
Cost: $10

The current pandemic has placed enormous stress on families as parents try to support their children’s academic learning and their social-emotional needs. The loss of regular contact with peers, an essential need for children, weighs heavily on them. Parents, not trained to be teachers, struggle with how to facilitate their child’s distance learning. Linda Inlay, Executive Director of the Ho’ala Foundation for Education, is a parent and an educator for the past 45 years sharing the Hawaii-birthed program, Awakening Wisdom. Awakening Wisdom is a school culture approach for student social-emotional wellbeing. It has influenced thousands of students to become responsible, compassionate, and empowered human beings who contribute to their communities. As one parent said, “We were empowered with the skills to raise awake and conscious, responsible and resourceful citizens of our community.” Linda raised her two children to be resilient through challenges using the principles of Awakening Wisdom, and will share her experiences as a teacher, principal, and parent to support parents as they navigate through this continuing pandemic.
