Discover the science behind early development, adversity, and resilience in this engaging training session! In this session, led by Caroline Folkman from Toward Common Ground & the Community Resilience Coalition of Guelph & Wellington, we will learn about the basics of brain development and how early experiences—both positive and negative—affect lifelong health and well-being. We will also explore what resilience truly means and the crucial role of systemic factors in promoting it.  

This dynamic session is set to include interactive break-out discussions, an informative presentation & a wrap-up Q&A focusing on how to apply lessons learned in your own work!
