FREE EVENT - Register Below

RESILIENCE: THE BIOLOGY OF STRESS AND THE SCIENCE OF HOPE delves into the science of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the birth of a new movement to treat and prevent Toxic Stress. Now understood to be one of the leading causes of everything from heart disease and cancer to substance abuse and depression, extremely stressful experiences in childhood can alter brain development and have lifelong effects on health and behavior.
Resilience further adds to the concept that one caring adult can change the trajectory of a child as noted in Paper Tigers by the same producers. (view the trailer here: https://kpjrfilms.co/resilience/).
After the screening, attendees are invited to join a thoughtful discussion about the film and develop practical action steps that can be taken back to their respective practices. The film is ideal viewing for educators, administrators, health-care staff, parents, social workers, mentors, social justice advocates, and ANYONE interested in the well-being of children.
This screening is one of many that have taken place in New Jersey with the goal of adopting a more trauma-informed approach to understanding children and adults by proving, what’s predictable is preventable. This screening is to inspire those working with young children and families to continue to emphasize the importance of healthy social-emotional development.
Please note that this event starts at 7 p.m. (EST). Registration is free and open.
