Katey McPherson is a dynamic and knowledgeable speaker whose deep understanding of today’s youth and need for mental wellness advocacy made her an invaluable partner for our Rotary Club of Queen Creek's Raising Resilient Kids event. Her tremendous insight, community connections, and engaging presence helped us craft and deliver three meaningful programs that truly resonated with parents and students alike.
I had the privilege of hearing Katey speak at the Raising Resilient Kids seminar hosted by the Rotary Club of Queen Creek last May. As a valued member of our community, Katey brings exceptional knowledge about building resilience in children and raises crucial awareness for parents about the digital challenges our kids face today. Her insights are both eye-opening and practical, helping parents navigate the complex online world our children grow up in. I highly recommend Katey for any community looking to better understand and support youth in the digital age.

As we move towards a world where technology is ever present, her wisdom and information for parents keeps them abreast of how they can support their child while also understanding their developing brain.
