2025 Spring Conference Information
Keynote Speaker - Dr. Chris Willard
Dr Willard has extensive experience working with individuals and families, and specializes in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders. One area of focus is college students and young adults, the focus of my latest book. I have has also worked with many organizations to help them implement mental health, performance, an resilience programs related to emotional intelligence and mindfulness.
I feel grateful to have published several books on mental health, child development, and more. They have been translated into several languages and have been praised for their accessibility, practicality, and effectiveness, and won praise for leaders in the field including Dan Siegel, Tara Brach, Yung Pueblo, Jack Kornfield, Thich Nhat Hanh and many others.
I travel to speak regularly around the world, and teach on the Harvard Medical School and the Center for Mindfulness and Compassion.
My mission is to help individuals and organizations around the world transform their lives and improve their well-being.
