The Strength of Simplicity in a Chaotic World With Howard Glasser | Part 2

About this episode

Howard Glasser discusses the transformative impact of the Nurtured Heart Approach on foster care and children's mental health systems.

In Part 2 of this conversation, Howard Glasser shares how the Nurtured Heart Approach is transforming foster care and children’s mental health systems. Howard explains how giving parents, foster families, educators, and professionals the tools to work with intensely challenging children has led to stronger families, fewer broken placements, and better long-term outcomes for kids. Together, Howard and Mussi explore the idea that a child’s intensity is not something to suppress, but something to nurture and channel into greatness. A hopeful and inspiring conversation about resilience, connection, and creating lasting change for children and families.
