Primary Focus
My current passion revolves around enriching the lives of individuals and families. I'm deeply engaged in educating people from all walks of life about the core concepts of well-being, striving to empower them to lead happier and mentally healthier lives. Additionally, I'm on a mission to champion well-designed parenting programs, believing in their power to nurture strong family bonds and support the holistic growth of our children. My research efforts are dedicated to exploring the intricate dynamics of family cohesion and advocating for workplaces that prioritize family-friendly environments. These initiatives, I believe, are pivotal in promoting the well-being of both individuals and families, fostering a happier and more harmonious society.
