Resilience Film

AP Month 2020 is about supporting awareness for ACES and positive childhood experiences, including fostering resilience as in this film, with resources to share with those you serve in your community, as well as those you love.

"Resilience: The Biology of Stress and the Science of Hope" chronicles the promising beginnings of a national movement to prevent childhood trauma, treat Toxic Stress, and greatly improve the health of future generations. https://kpjrfilms.co/resilience/

"Resilience" is a one-hour documentary that delves into the science of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the birth of a new movement to treat and prevent toxic stress.

Now understood to be one of the leading causes of everything from heart disease and cancer to substance abuse and depression, extremely stressful experiences in childhood can alter brain development and have lifelong effects on health and behavior.

"Resilience" shares what's predictable is preventable. "These physicians, educators, social workers and communities are daring to talk about the effects of divorce, abuse and neglect. And they’re using cutting edge science to help the next generation break the cycles of adversity and disease."

 

Check with your local library and library network for the DVD and/or check with local organizations if they are holding viewings. If there are no screenings, urge your local nonprofits or education institutions to hold a viewing, accessing it here: www.tugg.com, and introduce many to this important message. They are likely accustomed to screenings, and as many are focusing on ACES, glad to do this. It does not look like it is currently available on public television but may be again, so watch listings.
