Hello friends,
I have developed a small group activity to facilitate/introduce conversations about the NEAR sciences (neuroscience, epigenetices, ACEs, & resiliency). I am an ACEInterface certified speaker in WA State and I love how adaptive and flexible the curriculum is to facilitate powerful conversations. I also believe that having stories/metaphors are powerful and important for communicating the science, so I adapted the "Tipping the Scales" game from the Harvard Center on the Developing Child website to be an interactive group activity.
