🔥 From Trauma to Triumph. From Anger to Artistry. 🔥
A home economics class. An angry middle-school student. A simple pizza project.

One compassionate teacher who saw potential instead of problems.

That moment changed everything for Chef Curtis Duffy — and on Wednesday, March 11, he’s bringing his powerful story to the GPS Parent Series.

Join us at Noon on Zoom or in person at the Technology Center of DuPage, Addison, IL or 7 p.m. CT (via Zoom) for Fireproof: Memoir of a Chef — Cooking Up Resilience.

Curtis Duffy will share his remarkable journey from a childhood marked by trauma and loss to becoming one of the most celebrated chefs in the world — earning Michelin stars, operating Chicago’s acclaimed restaurant Ever, and being named among the most influential figures in fine dining.

This is more than a story about food.
It’s about resilience, grit, mentorship, and the life-changing power of one adult who believes in a child.

✨ FREE. Hybrid. Open to all.

Join GPS Parent Series on Tuesday, February 24 at 7 p.m. (in person & via Zoom) for an inspiring evening with Dr. Julia Garcia, author of "The 5 Habits of Hope."

Dr. Garcia will share evidence-based tools to help teens, children, and adults challenge negative thinking, navigate emotions, rebuild confidence, and practice hope in real, actionable ways.

✨ Come early at 6:00 p.m. for our FREE Community Wellness Resource Fair — assessments, giveaways, and even comfort dogs!

🧠✨ Bright kids don’t always “keep up” — and it’s not about laziness. https://t.co/IWhTpn2kLO

Join GPS on Thursday, Feb. 19 (Noon & 7 p.m. CT via Zoom) for an important conversation with Dr. Ellen Braaten on strategies that improve academic performance and processing for both typical and neurodiverse learners.

Many students — including those with ADHD, learning differences, or slower processing speed — are misunderstood as unmotivated.

Dr. Braaten will unpack the biological, psychological, and social factors that impact learning and motivation, and share targeted supports that reduce frustration, build confidence, and ignite engaged learning for kids ages 5–18.

👩‍🏫 Perfect for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone who works with children and teens.
💙 Free event. No registration required.

Let’s create environments where every child — regardless of how their brain processes information — can thrive.
