2024-25 Series
Homelife is the engine of a healthy society. This is a truth so foundational and obvious that it takes a host of manipulations to obscure it. The Woke movement, like all cultural revolutions, aggressively targets the life and stability of the family. In this Willows Academy keynote, Noelle Mering outlines the current landscape, how this ideology operates, and how to counter it, especially within our families.

Featuring Pascale Burns
Join us for a deep dive into the pros and cons for our teens of the most popular social media platforms. We will run a live demonstration of one of them and unpack recent data on social media’s impact on mental heath. Together, we will discuss strategies to curate our own approach to social media engagement so that our children see us as working with them and not against them.
