Understanding NEAR Science: Building Self-Healing Communities Presentation
Join us to learn how childhood adversity impacts our lives, the lives of our children, and the health of our communities. This presentation highlights key findings from the fields of neurobiology, epigenetics, epidemiology, and resilience research, demonstrating the impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on health and well-being and offering strategies to build resilience.
The goal of this presentation is to build a common understanding about NEAR Science as a starting point. All are welcome, and we encourage diverse cultural and identity groups to attend this presentation. Each of us hold wisdom to create healthier communities, and attendees are encouraged to think about how this information can be applied within their own family, work life, and community.
