Utah families are raising children in a moment marked by rapid change, heightened stress, and an overwhelming flow of information. Youth today are navigating rising mental‑health concerns, the relentless influence of social media, and the emotional impact of community challenges and national events that reach them instantly. Many parents want to talk with their children about these realities but feel unsure where to begin, how much to share, or how to support their kids without increasing fear or anxiety. This fall webinar brings together three leading Utah experts who work at the intersection of parenting, trauma, youth development, mental health, and family resilience. Together, they will offer research‑informed guidance and practical tools for navigating difficult conversations and strengthening emotional safety at home.

Breaking the Cycle: ACEs, Trauma, and Utah’s Path to Healthier Children

Panel Discussion/Presentation

A research‑based conversation with Utah leaders/experts on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), the impact of trauma, and new initiatives. Utah is taking a historic step to confront childhood trauma and its lifelong impact. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are linked to 9 of the 10 leading causes of death in the U.S., and ACE data show that 65.7% of Utah adults have experienced at least one ACE, while 1 in 4 have experienced three or more. These early adversities shape mental health, physical health, educational outcomes, and long‑term economic stability. Childhood trauma — particularly sexual abuse — is far more common than many realize and often goes unnoticed or unaddressed. We’ll be joined by three leading experts — Dr. R. Neal Davis, Holly Willard, and Dr. Brooks Keeshin — who will explore the science, clinical realities, and community impact of ACEs and childhood trauma. After their discussion, Sage Hancock, Executive Director of GenerationAll, will close the webinar by introducing Utah’s Healing Generations initiative, the first statewide ACE screening pilot of its kind.

Tradwives, Secret Lives, and Housewives: How Utah’s Real Cultural Norms Shape Women’s Lives

Panel Discussion/Presentation

A research‑based conversation on how Utah’s cultural norms shape women’s lives, body image, and power—and how we can create change. Utah women and girls are exposed to the same media, influencers, and cultural messages as women across the nation — yet the pressures they experience around beauty, body image, modesty, marriage, and gender expectations often feel uniquely intense. Why? What is it about Utah’s cultural, social, and religious environment that magnifies these dynamics? And how do these norms shape women’s lives, opportunities, relationships, and sense of self?
