About the film: RESILIENCE: THE BIOLOGY OF STRESS & THE SCIENCE OF HOPE is a one-hour documentary that discusses the science of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE’s) and birth of a new movement using cutting-edge brain science to disrupt cycles of violence, addiction and disease. Physicians, educators, students, judges, police, social workers and communities are talking about the effects of divorce, abuse and neglect and helping people bounce back from adversity.
This topic is especially timely – the Pandemic has brought so many stressors to our entire community.
