DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL TUESDAY, APRIL 4 AT THE SAME TIME. Join us to watch and discuss Resilience (2016), a one-hour documentary film that delves into the science of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and recent developments 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. There is hope, however, as experts and practitioners profiled in Resilience are proving: what’s predictable is preventable. Following the film, Dr. Andrew Bell, Program Director of Community Support Services at Westchester County Department of Community Mental Health (DCMH), will lead a discussion on trauma, resilience and what we can do as individuals and communities to heal. Complimentary light refreshments will be available. Click HERE to register. This program is presented in collaboration with the Westchester County Department of Community Mental Health, Westchester Library System and the Mamaroneck and Ossining Public Libraries. |
