May 9, 2024: Session 1: Stress and the Brain

Stress and the Brain

Khadijah Watkins, MD

Date: May 9, 2024

Session 1: 9:00-10:00 AM EST

Exposure to negative events, family stress, and adversity are common. However, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), that go untreated can lead to toxic stress which can have profound impacts on brain development and the body. When stress goes unidentified and unaddressed, it can negatively impact a child’s experience at school, impeding a youngster's social, emotional, and academic growth. Given how common ACEs are, it’s imperative that schools understand that “disruptive” behaviors and academic challenges could be linked to stress and learn how to respond with compassion and empathy rather than punitively. 

 

Target Audience

This program is intended for psychologists, social workers, educators, and license mental health counselors.
