Early environment is critical in shaping young brains. These influences affect who we are and what we become. Toxic environments can weaken the architecture of the developing brain, leading to lifelong problems in learning, behavior, and physical and mental health.
How can we harness this knowledge to impact children exposed to trauma?
Join members of our Alachua County and UF community for a day of exploration and creation of a coordinated trauma–responsive community.
Everyone is welcome… children, family professionals, academics, educators, policy makers, law enforcement and business owners – anyone with an interest.
Speakers will include BJ Casey, Ph.D., Psychobiologist from the Sackler Institute at Cornell University in NY, Robin Saenger, Founding Director, Peace4Tarpon, and Dan Goldowitz, Ph.D., Psychobiologist from Centre for Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics at the University of British Columbia. Participants will also enjoy feedback from several ongoing idea groups and poster presentations.

Dr. BJ Casey – Cornell University
Dr. Dan Goldowitz – University of British Columbia
