Hello Friend!
I'm Anne Kubitsky...

After meeting Mister Rogers at the age of five, I have devoted my life to helping children and adults become better friends and neighbors. For the past fifteen years, my work through the nonprofit Look for the Good Project has helped more than 700,000 children build friendship skills and discover the power of kindness.

Along the way, I became fascinated with the science of emotions, nervous system regulation, and post-traumatic growth. That curiosity inspired me to create Activate Your Strength®, where I develop books, journals, and practical tools that help adults better understand their emotions.

In our increasingly divided and disconnected world, I believe comforting friendships and supportive neighbors matter more than ever. I hope my work helps you become a better friend to yourself... and a good friend and neighbor to others.
