Raising Resilience: Learn how adverse childhood experiences affect children and what we can do!

You’re invited to a free screening of Resilience: The Biology of Stress and the Science of Hope, a one-hour film that explains how hard or scary experiences in childhood, called Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), can affect a child’s body and brain as they grow. The movie shows how these tough experiences, like abuse, neglect, or living in a stressful home, can lead to health and learning problems later in life. It also shares stories of hope, showing how caring adults, strong relationships, and community support can help kids heal and thrive.

After the film, we’ll have a panel of local experts to answer questions and talk about what we can all do to support children and families.
