Books as lifelines: Dr. Regine Muradian’s mission to heal and inspire children
When the 2020 Artsakh War displaced countless families, Dr. Regine Muradian turned her children’s book into a lifeline, donating all proceeds from the Armenian translation of Franky and the Worry Bees to nonprofits providing children with food, clothing, school supplies and other essentials.
A licensed clinical psychologist based in Glendale, California, Dr. Muradian is also a children’s author, mental health advocate, speaker and consultant. She empowers families, educators and communities to build resilience, emotional well-being and coping skills for stress and anxiety.
