The Neuroscience Of Adverse Childhood Experiences
Discover how early life experiences could shape long-term wellbeing, and how certain factors can support recovery. With Q&A.
Why do early life experiences, especially those that are difficult, shape who we become as adults? Adverse Childhood Experiences like neglect, abuse and/or chronic stress can alter the developing brains of children and adolescents. In turn, this cumulative stress could play a role in shaping our emotions, learning, memory, and decision-making.
In this talk, Dr Jeffrey DeMarco will draw on neuroscience to explore the influences of early environment on children’s long-term well-being, and how this impacts us into adulthood. He will also explore the role of support and resilience in helping the brain heal and grow after trauma. This session is perfect for any adult eager to explore and understand childhood experiences and how they can have a lasting impact on our lives.
Doors open at 6:30pm, last entry at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!
