Kari O'Driscoll is the parent of two young adults and the founder of The SELF Project, an organization designed to create strong connections between preteens/teens and adults in their lives. Kari explains, "Through my research and my personal experience, I've learned that relationship is the most important part of a healthy life. The more connected they feel to adults who truly care for and respect them, the more able they will be to go out into the world and find trusting, loving, reciprocal relationships with other people."
