FILM SHOWING + FACILITATED DISCUSSION
RESILIENCE : The Biology of Stress & the Science of Hope
“The child may not remember, but the body remembers.” KPJR Films
Join TISUK Director Julie Harmieson for a rare opportunity to watch KPJR's film Resilience: the biology of stress and the science of hope. RESILIENCE chronicles the birth of a new movement among pediatricians, therapists, educators and communities, who are using cut- ting-edge brain science to disrupt cycles of violence, addiction and disease.
The original research was controversial, but the findings revealed the most important public health findings of a generation. 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 physi- cians, 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.
The 1hr screening will be followed by a 1hr discussion led by Julie, exploring the lessons of the film and the application to your settings.
Cancellation Policy: Cancellation requests made more than 7 days before the showing will be refunded minus the Eventbrite booking fee portion of the ticket price.
