Hi I’m Kari,

 

an author, researcher and speaker and I have dedicated my complete career to supporting people who care for, and work with, children. Anxiety and depression among children and adolescents are on the rise both in Australia and around the world. I help parents, grandparents, carers, early childhood educators and teachers plant the seeds of mental fitness, resilience and emotional wellbeing for future generations.

Some ways I can help…

Books and Programs

With a foundation based on the science of child development and positive psychology Kari helps parents, and other caring adults, to become more confident in helping their children develop mental fitness and the ability to cope with the challenges today’s fast paced world throws their way.
