"The Brain's Journey to Resilience"

 

"The Brain Story is a story about how experiences shape our brains. As such, it is also a story about human relationships, because we depend on those around us for the experiences that build our brain architecture."-Alberta Family Wellness Initiative

For those individuals who have taken the incredible Brain Story Certification through the Alberta Family Wellness initiative, AFWI has released a report on January 8,2021, titled: "EARLY LEARNINGS ABOUT USES FOR THE RESILIENCE SCALE METAPHOR IN PRACTICE", which reviews INTEGRATING THE RESILIENCE SCALE INTO PRACTICE: A 2017 paper from the Center on the Developing Child, laid out three “design principles” that practitioners and policymakers across sectors can use to improve outcomes for children and families: 1. Support responsive relationships for children and adults. 2. Strengthen core life skills. 3. Reduce sources of stress in the lives of children and families." Read the FULL REPORT (see attachment) here:

"Lifelong health is determined by more than just our genes: experiences at sensitive periods of development change the brain in ways that increase or decrease risk for later physical and mental illness, including addiction. That finding is the premise of the Brain Story, which puts scientific concepts into a narrative that is salient to both expert and non-expert audiences. The Brain Story synthesizes decades of research and reflects a body of knowledge that experts agree is useful for policy-makers and citizens to understand.

The Alberta Family Wellness Initiative (AFWI) has developed an online course to make Brain Story science available to professionals and the public. Brain Story Certification is designed for those seeking a deeper understanding of brain development and its consequences for lifelong health. The course is also designed for professionals seeking certification in a wide range of fields. "
