Over the past decade, children’s mental health challenges have reached epidemic levels — stress, anxiety, childhood depression, and suicide are at unprecedented high rates. Amid high-stakes pressure for kids to succeed, parents and teachers have never needed a road map to healthy child development more urgently. Creating healthy and strongly bonded communities for our children, both in our own families and in our schools, is key to their emotional well-being, and their success in life. Untethered offers tools to help us create these communities so our kids develop healthy attachments and learn emotional regulation, helping them feel more connected, less anxious, more included, less shamed, and more securely grounded. Presented by Doug Bolton, Ph.D.

Election of Officers: Please send your Governing Board Representative to vote on behalf of your district, as each district has one vote. Nominations from the floor (with the explicit approval of the candidate) are accepted. A simple voice vote may be taken for uncontested positions.
