Strong from the Inside Out

We can't protect young people from every challenge they'll face. But we can help them develop the resilience to face those challenges.

Bullying, peer pressure, substance use and the need to fit in are realities many young people navigate. And while we often focus on protecting children from outside influences, there's another important part of the conversation: what's happening on the inside.

Join the Rotary Club of Vancouver for a fireside chat with Quinn Cashion, a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, author and educator who has spent more than 30 years working with children, families and schools.

Quinn believes resilience isn't something we simply teach children or expect them to develop on their own. It's something we can help them discover and strengthen, particularly when they're surrounded by adults who understand the importance of emotional well-being, connection and belonging.

Drawing on decades of experience, she'll share a different perspective on prevention, the influence of adults on children's emotional development, and why creating healthy environments matters long before a young person finds themselves in difficulty.
