DAY 1: THE NATIONAL WELLBEING & RESILIENCE SUMMIT
A POWERFUL, ONE-DAY SUMMIT TO SET THE STAGE FOR NEW POSSIBILITIES
What if it all works out?
After Hurricane Milton forced the cancellation of the 2024 National Wellbeing & Resilience Conference, we are more determined than ever to come together for a day of hope, learning, and transformation. On February 16, 2026, educators, community leaders, mental health professionals, and those working across systems of care will unite for the National Wellbeing & Resilience Summit. This one-day experience will feature an inspiring keynote, dynamic panels, and interactive workshops designed to ignite possibility and strengthen communities. Participants will earn 7 CEUs while gaining fresh perspectives and practical tools to advance mental health, resilience, and positive change across the education system and beyond. The momentum continues with a series of training opportunities following the summit that will deepen learning and support lasting transformation in schools and systems of care.

DAY 2: FOUNDATIONS TRAINING
A DAY DEDICATED TO DEEPENING YOUR IMPACT WITH THOSE YOU SERVE
FOUNDATIONS TRAINING
For the first time, we’re opening Day One of our exclusive two-day training—normally reserved for SPARK and IWB license holders—to the public. This powerful one-day experience introduces the core foundations of all of our work at SPARK and helps participants to uncover their own SPARK!
Participants will explore:
A simple but profound understanding of how the mind works in relation to our experiences.
The invisible but integral role state of mind plays in our successes and failures, moment to moment.
How, through an understanding of the mind and a recognition of our SPARK, innate resilience is uncovered, deeper connections are created, impulse control is elevated, and the stress resistance needed to overcome trauma is naturally formed.
Participants will leave with:
A deeper understanding of how the mind works and impacts their day-to-day life.
Recognition that resilience is innate within both themselves and the youth they serve.
The ability to serve youth with a deeper sense of connection and teach youth the same.
Understanding of how the recognition of innate resilience directly links to increasing impulse control and stress resistance.
