Digital Health + Wellness with Devorah Heitner

  • Glen Urquhart School 74 Hart Street Beverly, MA, 01915 United States (map)

GUS is pleased to co-host, along with two AISNE peer schools, Berwick Academy and Landmark School, a virtual webinar with author + speaker, Devorah Heitner, around the topic that is on the minds of parents + caregivers and educators alike: raising children in the digital age.

Please note: While it would be helpful context, reading Growing Up in Public is not a prerequisite for attending the November 7 webinar. This webinar is intended for current Landmark School, Berwick Academy, and Glen Urquhart School parents and guardians.

Growing Up in Public Synopsis

“Drawing on her extensive work with parents and schools as well as hundreds of interviews with kids, parents, educators, clinicians, and scholars, Heitner offers strategies for parenting our kids in an always-connected world. With relatable stories and research-backed advice, Growing Up in Public empowers parents to cut through the overwhelm to connect with their kids, recognize how to support them, and help them figure out who they are when everyone is watching.” - 2024, Mentoring Kids in a Connected World

Diving Deeper

For parents who wish to continue the conversation, GUS invites you to a follow-up Community Round Table on Friday, November 15, at 9:00 a.m., after All School Meeting. We will discuss Dr. Heitner’s presentation, reflections on her book Growing Up in Public, and your personal experiences, challenges, and successes in navigating the landscape of digital health and wellness in your families.
