RESILIENCE – The Biology of Stress & The Science of Hope
In partnership with Rachel Allen, Director - Peace and Justice Institute Valencia College
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 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.
Participants will participate in viewing the documentary followed by discussion. Film and discussion points include: • Defining Adverse Childhood Experiences and toxic stress • Understanding the impact of ACEs and toxic stress • Learning about the ACEs study and the outcomes • Learning how ACEs can have an impact on our physical and mental health • Identifying protective factor that can prevent ACEs • Understanding the importance of building resilience
