Resilience and Recovery from Trauma

In this installment I discuss resilience and recovery for survivors of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), human trafficking, and other trauma. We explore how the plasticity of our brains helps us face stressful situations and recover from trauma. A live Q&A follows every webcast so please join us for the next session to ask your questions!
