WFHB Bloomington Community Radio
RESILIENCE is a one-hour documentary that 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, learning, and behavior. However, as experts and practitioners profiled in RESILIENCE are proving, what’s predictable is preventable. These physicians, educators, social workers and communities are daring to talk about the effects of divorce, abuse and neglect. And they’re using cutting edge science to help the next generation break the cycles of adversity and disease.
A facilitated panel discussion with Q&A will follow the hour-long film. The panel will include key stakeholders from our community who work with our children and youth across systems. Your participation is important to harnessing efforts and sparking community action.
Sponsored by the Brown County Schools, and many others.
