Dr. Linda Uyeda (shown above) is a family physician who works at several Fraser Health youth clinics and the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital.  Her own personal journey into work on resilience began 15 years ago with the birth of her first child.  Like many new parents, she questioned advice she was receiving from family and friends and turned to the scientific community for answers.  She expanded her medical education to exploring neuroscience, parenting, and mindfulness practices and was pleasantly surprised at what she found.  After incorporating this information into her own family and medical practice with immense success, she has begun educating parents, counselors, teachers, and physicians about what she has learned.
