Join us for a free, VIRTUAL, day-long workshop on Understanding NEAR* Science & Historical Trauma. A $30 gift card will be provided to all attendees.

*NEAR Science stands for neurobiology, epigenetics, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) & resilience research

You are invited to attend a day-long workshop to learn how historical trauma, intergenerational trauma, and childhood adversity impact our lives, the lives of our children, and the health of our communities. The goal of this workshop is to build a common language and understanding about NEAR Science and Historical Trauma as a starting point. 

All Minnesotans are welcome, and we encourage diverse cultural and identity groups to attend this workshop. Each of us hold wisdom to create healthier communities, and after attending this workshop, attendees are encouraged to think about how this information can be applied within their own family, work life, and community. The workshop will be divided into two presentations.

First, FamilyWise will present the Understanding NEAR Science: Building Self-Healing Communities presentation, which represents a paradigm shift in human understanding of individual and societal health and well-being. 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.

After a break for lunch, the Trauma Across Generations: Reclaiming the Narrative presentation will occur. Facilitator to be announced. More details to come shortly on this Historical Trauma presentation.

This training is brought to you by BlueCross BlueShield of Minnesota & FamilyWise Services
