Free Symposium on May 10: Early Life Stress and Mental Health

Adrian Alexander 5/5/212:22 AM

Good morning, everyone. 😀

On Monday 10th May, there will be a full-day symposium (9am to 3pm) on "Early Life Stress and Mental Health" by the Picower Institute at MIT.

Speakers include Dr. Nadine Burke-Harris, California's Surgeon General and a renowned advocate for ACEs science, and the amazing, Bryan Stevenson, founder of Equal Justice Initiative (pictured above).

Here's an extract from the promo: "In what ways are health and other outcomes affected by early life difficulty? What can individuals and institutions do to enhance opportunity?

The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory's biennial spring symposium, "Early Life Stress & Mental Health,” will examine these issues.

The daylong event will feature talks by neuroscientists, policy experts, physicians, educators and activists as they discuss how our experiences and biology work together to affect how our minds develop and what can be accomplished in helping people overcome early disadvantages."
