From Disruption to Integration: How We Build Resilience Together

Friday May 15, 2026, 9:00 AM - Friday May 15, 2026, 5:30 PM
Research
Conference

Content

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the developmental, educational, and relational foundations of daily life for children, families, educators, and clinicians. Yet within that disruption emerged new insights about resilience, connection, and the systems that support healthy development.

This conference brings together leading voices in neuroscience, psychology, education, and community practice to explore what we have learned—and what we must carry forward. Through keynote presentations, panels, and interactive components, participants will examine the lasting impacts of disrupted milestones, uncertainty, and social isolation while identifying practical strategies that foster resilience and integration. Together, we will explore how relationships, collaboration, and shared understanding can help transform disruption into opportunity and strengthen the systems that support children, families, and communities.

Day:        Friday, May 15, 2026

Time:      9:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. EST

Format:  Remote and Interactive via Zoom Conferencing

Rates:     $55 for Students, $225 Full Price
