Pamela Cantor, M.D. is a child and adolescent psychiatrist specializing in trauma, author, and thought leader on the science of learning and development and unlocking human potential. In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, she founded Turnaround for Children, now the Center for Whole-Child Education at Arizona State University, which translates scientific insights into tools and services that help educators establish the conditions for all students to thrive. Dr. Cantor crystallizes key scientific concepts about how human potential and learning unfold so that anyone seeking to open pathways for learning and opportunity for young people can do so.
