My friend Tom (CAST Canada) just shared this video (TED Talk) with me and I think it is very important information for all of us to consider. Adverse Childhood Experiences have a profound effect on our ability to form healthy adult relationships, complete educational goals, attain career objectives and maintain physical and mental health.
The Ted Talk by Dr. Nadine Burke Harris: How childhood trauma affects health across a lifetime is worth a listen, it only takes about 15 minutes and is time well spent.
