Dr. Ginsburg is a pediatrician specializing in Adolescent Medicine at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He also serves as Director of Health Services at Covenant House Pennsylvania, an agency that serves Philadelphia's homeless and marginalized youth.

The theme that ties together his clinical practice, teaching, research and advocacy efforts is that of building on the strengths of teenagers by fostering their internal resilience. He strives to translate the best of what is known from research and practice into practical approaches parents, professionals and communities can use to build resilience. Core to this model is understanding that youth choose behaviors that manage stress in their lives, and that if we are to reduce worrisome youth behaviors, we need to address those stressors.

Dr. Ginsburg lectures widely to national and international parent and professional audiences. His most recent books include, "Building Resilience in Children and Teens: Giving Kids Roots and Wings", published by The American Academy of Pediatrics and "Letting Go with Love and Confidence: Raising Responsible, Resilient, Self Sufficient Teens". He also has over 100 other publications, including 28 scientific articles.

Dr. Ginsburg is currently working closely with The Boys and Girls Club of America, which serves over 5 million youth, to incorporate resilience building strategies into their programming. He is also honored to be working on behalf of those who serve our nation, preparing military parents, health professionals, counselors, and teachers to incorporate stress reduction and resilience building strategies as they serve the nation's nearly 2 million military affiliated children. His greatest honor is to be the parent of two teenaged daughters.
