WYS - Resilience

As the highly acclaimed documentary Resilience- The Biology of Stress and the Science of Hope reveals, there is a dangerous biological syndrome caused by abuse and neglect during childhood. Toxic stress impacts the brain development of children and can be predictive of a lifetime of physical and mental illness. What's more, the physiological changes brought on by toxic stress also put children at greater risk for homelessness, prison time and early death. But this does not have to be the case. Resilience chronicles the work of trailblazers like Western Youth Services who are addressing toxic stress and other Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), such as abuse, neglect and violence with nearly every research-recommended strategy and, thereby providing insight, hope, and strategies on how each one of us can make a difference.
