On April 7, 2022, the 44th Annual PAPSA Conference will showcase Christian Moore during its Thursday morning session.  His presentation is titled Resilience Can Be Taught: Practical Strategies for Helping Students Develop Resilience.

Christian is an internationally-renowned speaker, licensed clinical social worker, and advocate for youth. He is the author of The Resilience Breakthrough: 27 Tools for Turning Adversity into Action. He was a commencement speaker in the School of Education at John Hopkins University, and spoke at a White House convening for the Reach Higher Initiative. Christian found his passion in social work. He created the WhyTry Program, which has been implemented in over 25,000 organizations. Christian has flown over 6 million miles and reached over 3 million kids.

According to Christian, “…resilience is not the path of least resistance. It takes place in the striving, not the accomplishing. And it only dies the moment you give up. I’ve learned that lifelong resilience is nothing more than a series of small and large comebacks—it’s making the effort to pick up the ball every single time you drop it.”

A link to a recording of all conference sessions will be provided after the conference has concluded.​
