Jacqueline will speak on the art of resilience and the key factors that seems to make a difference. We will learn how acts of kindness create a much greater ripple,
and how asking for help, even when it seems difficult, can change our lives.

Her doctoral research focuses on factors that enhance coping and adaptation for young people from various war zones in Africa.
