Join us for The Art of Letting Them Grow: Building Resilience from Childhood to Young Adulthood with Dr. Shelly Melia. We’ll explore how parents can offer steady support while giving their children room to face challenges, grow in confidence, and become more independent.
Dr. Melia is Associate Dean of DBU’s Graduate School of Ministry and Program Director for its master’s programs in Children’s Ministry and Family Ministry. A Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in grief and resilience, she brings more than 25 years of experience in children’s and family ministry.
The webinar will also include important announcements from Dr. Dale Braswell, Senior Director of Alumni and Parent Engagement, and a brief word from Al Fowler, Director of Recruitment in Undergraduate Admissions.
We look forward to having you attend the event!
