Brain development in the early years is especially susceptible to toxic stress caused by Adverse Childhood Experiences. Toxic stress has the capacity to physically change a child’s brain and be hardwired into the child’s biology. Adults can assist in increasing physical health and mental well-being for children who have encountered Adverse Childhood Experiences. Participants will learn how they are in a unique position to assist adults in attending to the child’s unique health and developmental needs. Participants will discover the link between resilience families and self-healing communities.
