60 Minutes, via Zoom, Tuesday, June 23: 1 pm PT / 3 pm CT / 4 pm ET
On June 23, Carolyn Jacobs, founder of Keep Slowing, LLC, will host renowned developmental psychologist, researcher, and author Dr. Niobe Way for the June session of Conversations that Contribute, a series that aims at expansive dialogue and actionable ideas for how adults can support young people in communication and conflict.
As we enter summer, parents, educators, employers, and other adults connected to emerging adults are drawn into a meaningful relational transition that can bring both challenge and opportunity. Young adults may be leaving home, returning from post-high-school programs and education, or otherwise shifting in their relationship to family life and independence. Dr. Niobe Way, a distinguished professor who has spent nearly 40 years studying adolescent development and human connection, will join me for a conversation exploring how we might understand emerging adults’ developing independence and the communication capacities that support connection and productive conflict.
About Dr. Way
Dr. Niobe Way is a leading developmental psychologist whose pioneering research on adolescent social and emotional development reveals how cultural ideologies shape human connection in the U.S. and China. Through initiatives like the Project for the Advancement of our Common Humanity (PACH), the Listening with Curiosity Project, and the Science of Human Connection Lab, she works to counter the “crisis of connection” by cultivating relational intelligence in schools and communities. An award-winning author and influential public scholar, her work has transformed understandings of boys’ friendships, inspired major media, and informed national psychology guidelines.
Registration is $10 per attendee, and Keep Slowing will donate 100% of the proceeds to ODC, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that nurtures artists, youth, and the Bay Area creative community.
This program is for:
• Parents
• ADR Professionals
• Educators
• Mental Health Professionals
• Parenting Professionals
• Youth Program Staff
• Anyone hoping to support children in building relational skills
