More MD Moves: Promoting resilience & Partnering with Pratt

 

Resilience... an interesting word with many meanings for many people from many different walks of life. But that's the point... isn't it? In order to truly promote and support the resilience movement, we must ensure that everyone has a seat at the table.

In that spirit, Enoch Pratt Library has officially joined the movement!! Libraries across Baltimore will be hosting Resilience film screenings and discussion panels for community members and stakeholders. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to come together and begin discussing, planning, & mobilizing our communities to move towards resilience. 

Find upcoming screenings here on our MD Aces Action Calendar!

 Resilience film synopsis: 

Resilience is a one-hour documentary that delves into the science of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) & the birth of a new movement to treat & prevent Toxic Stress. Now understood to be one of the leading causes of everything from heart disease & cancer to substance abuse & depression, extremely stressful experiences in childhood can alter brain development & have lifelong effects on adult health & behavior. This film is filled with field experts that discuss in detail how things from divorce & incarceration to abuse & neglect can shape and wire a child’s brain in ways that can perpetuate trauma, increase unwanted health & social outcomes or break the cycle of trauma & promote good health & healing in families and communities. After each screening, all attendees are welcome to stay for the post-film discussion.
