Welcome

IMG_0721Fall, 2025. And a brand new school year.

Social stress and anxiety continue to affect students everywhere. And for some, virtues such as grace, respect, empathy, manners, kindness and fundamental decency remain a secondary thought.

But what is dominating student life to an even higher level of involvement are two words: Artificial Intelligence.

Whether it’s ChatGPT for general and overall AI interactions, MidJourney for image, video and music generation or character.ai and Replika to create companion chatbots and begin, often emotional, “relationships,” all AI platforms, with the exception of specialized AI models, function similarly. As students are still developing intellectually and are not always well-reasoned, their implementation of AI offers both benefits as well as risk. Learn more here.

Leaning heavily into the revelations of Jonathan Haidt’s groundbreaking book, ‘The Anxious Generation,’ the 2025-26 Digital Wellness series of presentations sees the addition of a dedicated set of student and parent sessions focused on the benefits, risks and future of AI.

With a step-by-step approach on how to build personal wellness and inner peace relative to their lives, online, students remain the first voice to their own experience and perceptions of their device, screen-time, intention and hope.

The power and global access that smartphones, tablets and laptops affords us is remarkable. At the same time, and especially among our youth, the opportunity cost of endless hours online can be observed by the steady decline of their joy and a tangible increase in stress and anxiety. 

Welcome! I am honoured to be able to support your learning journey.
