Resilience Film

Date/Time

Location

Northampton Recovery Center (25 Armory St., Northampton, MA 01060, Northampton MA)

Free showing of the film *Resilience*: *The Biology of Stress & the Science of Hope* on Friday March 3 from 4-6 pm at the NRC, 25 Armory St. Registration appreciated, go to hampshiretihc.org

As this documentary reveals, toxic stress can trigger hormones that wreak havoc on the brains and bodies of children, putting them at a greater risk for disease, homelessness, prison time, and early death. While the broader impacts of poverty worsen the risk, no segment of society is immune. *Resilience* also chronicles the dawn of a movement that is determined to fight back. Trailblazers in pediatrics, education, and social welfare are using cutting-edge science and field-tested therapies to protect children from the insidious effects of toxic stress.

Popcorn and snacks will be served, and there will be a facilitated debrief and discussion after the 1-hour film.
