The science of adversity in the context of schools [Turnaround for Children]

Jane Stevens 2/13/1710:21 AM

In this video, Dr. Pam Cantor, president and CEO of Turnaround for Children, provides an overview of ACEs science -- in particular, the ACE Study, the neurobiology of toxic stress, the health consequences of toxic stress and how to create resilience-building schools.

She asks: "What if it were possible to change the context of a child's life thorugh the design of our schools? What if schools were designed to be physically and emotionally safe, relationship rich, to buffer stress, to support kids in developing the skills and mindsets they need to realize their fullest potential?

Our schools would be capable of not just enabling kids to overcome the effects of adversity, our schools would be schools that could release the potential of each and every one of our kids so that they can have the lives they choose."
