Join ParentWiser on Wednesday, January 18th from 4-5:15pm for Cultivating Resilience with Dr. Lisa Damour and Reena Ninan. Register and learn more here.
In children, powerful emotions come with the territory. Contending with academic pressure, social media stress, worries about the future, and concerns about mental health, it’s easy for children—and parents—to feel anxious and overwhelmed. Join Dr. Damour and Reena Ninan as they share clear, research-informed explanations alongside illuminating, real-life examples, giving parents the concrete, practical information they need to steady their children through the bumpy yet transformational journey into adulthood.
ParentWiser is run by volunteer parents from the Issaquah PTSA Council and is sponsored by the Issaquah Schools Foundation as well as PTAs of the Issaquah School District.

In the United States, Martin Luther King, Jr., Day is observed annually on the third Monday in January. The day commemorates the life and work of Dr. King, who was a Baptist minister and prominent leader in the American civil rights movement. People are encouraged to use the day to “reflect on the principles of racial equality and nonviolent social change espoused by Dr. King.” The holiday is typically observed with events such as marches and rallies and speeches by politicians and civil rights leaders.
