[Media] Interview (Wellulu)

An interview article has been published on Wellulu.

I was interviewed for a special feature on children’s well-being.
When I read books on well-being, I often find myself thinking, “Wait, what we’ve been doing at CANVAS is well-being itself!”—and this interview took place right in the midst of that realization.

Lately, I’ve been getting asked a lot about what we used to talk about back when CANVAS was first founded—maybe that’s related to the current trend toward well-being?!?!
