Resilience

I was excited to register for the screening of Resilence and have heard a lot about this documentary.  The long term impacts of childhood trauma have a constant and sustained impact on people.  These trauma's range from small events to divorce to much larger traumas.  

I often think about systemic poverty and how children that grow-up in these situations often can not escape.  I have always been passionate about public schools and feel we have a fundamental obligation to send our children to public schools.  I know my children have benefited greatly by interacting with a wide section of the population.  Perspective and understanding are only possible in these settings.  

I look forward to learning more and hope you will register and join me as well.

RESILIENCE DOCUMENTARY: Wednesday, February 13th, 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM @ Enloe High School. 

 

This film is about "the biology of stress and the science of hope” a study of how adverse childhood experiences can be linked to destructive behavior and medical disease. 

 

The PTSAs of Enloe and Broughton High Schools have invited their feeder schools to a screening of the movie Resilience, followed by a panel discussion, which will focus on what our community can do to mitigate the effects of childhood trauma. They are also organizing a follow-up training session on February 21 from 9:00  AM - 12:00 AM.  Both events are free, but participants will need to register.  Watch out for more details in mid-January and at the next General PTA Meeting on the 23rd.
