Watch as Puppy Pals Live leads the puppies and audience through challenging and comical tricks as the pooches show everyone who is really boss! Full of canine stunts and laugh-out-loud canine comedy, it is no surprise this show has been a hit all over the USA!

Anxiety is a normal human emotion, yet it is increasingly experienced by both youth and adults in overwhelming proportions, interfering with everyday functioning and wellbeing. This community conversation and learning experience will examine the root causes of escalating anxiety and provide practical skills for building familial resilience.

Integrating perspectives and practices from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), we will—hand in hand—look bravely at our own avoidance of uncomfortable feelings and build familial language for facing and embracing distress. These practices make room for us to derive greater fulfillment out of the messy, unpredictable journey of life.
