October 10th, 2024
11am-1:30pm MST/1-3:30pm EST
About the Webinar:
Resilience can be defined as the ability to respond positively in the face of adversity. The Resilience Scale metaphor depicts how adversities, positive supports, and acquired skills and abilities interact to influence resilience. The 2.5-hour Resilience Scale Masterclass educates policy makers, educators, practitioners, and the public about brain development and its impact on health, mental health, and overall well being throughout the lifespan. It provides foundational knowledge and a common language that are accessible across populations and disciplines to communicate key concepts around resilience, track and monitor individual outcomes, and identify areas of support for children, adults, families, and communities.
Featuring:
