Connections Matter

• 10/05/19 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM

We all face tough times. Ongoing stress from tough times can lead to poor health and other challenges as the brain adapts to survive. Yet, research is not showing us what we can do do change these outcomes. Connections Matter highlights the importance that building caring connections with the children, families, and adults in our lives has on developing healthy brains, supportive relationships, and thriving communities. This evidence-based, interactice presentation describes how stress impacts the brain and why relationships improve individual and community well-being. Attendees will leave with specific ideas for the actions they can take in their professional and personal lives, and will end the session by identifying their next steps. Together, we can engage more people in creating environments that strengthen families from the start and give children and adults with a history of trauma and opportunity to heal.
