Western Youth Services Presents Resilience

Join us for healing, hope and insight as we advance awareness on one of the largest public health crisis in our country. 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 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.
