The Doctor Is IN #3: ACEs and Prevention

In the third webinar in this series covering the intersection points of health and human trafficking I cover some of the neuro-bio-psychological science that links childhood adversity and risk of vulnerabilities to being either a victim or a perpetrator of exploitation and trafficking (among other things). I break down some of the cutting edge research on ACEs effects on our brains and bodies and translate it into language than a non-scientific person can understand what is going in our heads and why it matters.

The live webinar covers just my speaking portion of the webinar. If you would like to participate in the live Q&A please join me for a live session every other Monday afternoon. I also publish a blog version of these talks.
