Description
“THE CHILD MAY NOT REMEMBER, BUT THE BODY REMEMBERS.”
Please join us and our community partners for a unique experience. We will be screening the movie, “Resilience: The Biology of Stress and the Science of Hope” three times over the next two months at various locations throughout Northern Virginia. This award winning film is for everyone: parents, community members, teachers, human service providers, doctors, and more! To attend, you simply need to be willing to help teach your child, a family you know, the community in which you live, how to become resilient in the face of adversity.
The film and panel discussion that will follow will teach you that an ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) score:
-
should be used as a tool to better understand family and community health needs
-
can empower a parent to make changes in their lives and for their children
-
supports the need to interrupt cycles of abuse and neglect in order to have a healthier community
-
is about teaching individuals to become resilient in the face of adversity
