Our keynote speaker was Dr. Warren Kinghorn, Professor of Psychiatry and Pastoral Theology at Duke University. He discussed the mental health climate on today’s college campus and what that means for parents of college students. It was a stimulating time of encouragement, insight and fellowship among Carolina parents.

The first plenary address and audience discussion offered parents a comprehensive overview of the mental health issue on college campuses. The second address was titled: ‘It is Good that You Exist: On Being Loved by God in a World Marked by Shame.’
