Creativity. Movement. Connection. How do activities like sports, music, dance, art, writing — and all sorts of playful, self-directed passions — help sustain kids’ mental health and well-being? How can adults — caretakers and educators — best support children’s hobbies and passions? And how can they support and encourage activities that protect mental health in adolescence?

Guests include: 

• Lorraine Orr, Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer, Boys & Girls Clubs of America

Host: Aysha Upchurch, Lecturer on Education and Artist in Residence, Harvard Graduate School of Education
