October 19, at 4 PM Pacific Title: Toxic Trauma, Stress and the Brain We now know that a child’s brain is most flexible during the first few years of life. These early years are a critical period for learning, growth, and development. Brains grow through touch, talk, sight, and sound. What happens when children don’t get this? What happens in early childhood can matter for a lifetime. We must recognize and address problems before they get worse. Research shows that toxic stress and adversity, such as poverty, abuse, or neglect can weaken the developing brain architecture and permanently set the body’s stress response system on high alert. The good news is that science shows that providing stable, responsive, nurturing relationships with children and adolescents can prevent and even reverse the damaging effects of early life stress. The number of caring adults in a child’s life is directly related to their success." Presenter: Lisa McKenzie Recording Link |
