Dr. Katie Hurley

Today’s youth navigate an unrelenting barrage of social pressure unknown to earlier generations. The ceaseless pace of group chats, lightning-fast viral rumors, and the deliberate sting of digital exclusion happens around the clock.

Author and child and adolescent psychotherapist Hurley comes to GPS to reveal how modern behaviors influence youth mental health. She is not focused on stripping technology from children, instead Hurley advocates for equipping kids with the emotional intelligence to navigate their digital environments safely and empathetically.

Participants will gain a deeper insight into how online anonymity fosters cyberbullying and relational aggression. Hurley will offer practical, evidence-based strategies to address online challenges and provide adults with a clear roadmap for guiding youth. 

Hurley is a highly sought-after international conference speaker and a frequent contributor to prominent national media outlets. She has authored several acclaimed books, including “No More Mean Girls: The Secret to Raising Compassionate, Resilient, Collaborative Girls,” “The Happy Kid Handbook,” and “Breaking the Boy Code: The New Playbook for Raising Resilient Boys.”
