Dr. Malawa will explore the history and value of recognizing the impact of ACEs on parent’s and children’s well-being. She will explore the way systemic racism impacts these factors in a call to all of us to change the systems that relegate Black and Brown children, their families and communities to be pathologized instead of being seen as strong resources worthy of support. Learn what we know about the resilience features that can be encouraged in children in order to support their long term health, particularly those who may be subject to child welfare interventions and the family disruption that occurs in adoption.
