If you missed last week's "Early Life Stress and Mental Health" symposium, read a recap here including video 📺 of talks by @DrBurkeHarris, Geoffrey Canada of @hczorg, @joseiswriting and the panel discussion: picower.mit.edu/news/speaker… @mitbrainandcog @oeopmit

At symposium, science and stories converge on harms of early exposure to trauma, racism but also restorative power of understanding, nurturing, and extending opportunity
