Michele Borba’s latest book, THRIVERS, is a sharply insightful, science-backed guide that helps parents and educators teach the essential character traits kids need to become “thrivers” – young people who flourish in rapidly changing, digitally-driven and uncertain world. Borba will identify seven teachable strengths that will safeguard kids for the future, offering practical “how-to” strategies and ideas for everyday activities that build up kids’ strength, resilience, happiness, and success.  Certificates of Attendance and CEU’s will be available. 

“Our community is stronger when parents, educators and professionals have the latest information to better support children as they strive to achieve their full potential. We are especially grateful to the Community Foundation of Sarasota County for their longstanding support as our presenting partner,” stated Michelle Kapreilian, Forty Carrots Family Center CEO.
