Thursday, April 8 from 11 to 11:50 a.m.
Stream it on the HVCC Livestream Website
Teresa Gil, Ph.D., psychotherapist, professor and author, will review resiliency and trauma theory while weaving in the stories of women she has interviewed for her book on this topic. She will examine the long-term psychological and health consequences of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) and focus on the circumstances that put individuals at risk. Most importantly, Gil will discuss the elements that promote protective factors in our lives that help us to “defy the odds,” support our resilient capacities and triumph over adversity.
The lecture will take place virtually from 11 to 11:50 a.m. and can be viewed live on the library’s Facebook page and on HVCC Livestream Website.
Voices: A Library Lecture Series is offered each semester to broaden and enrich the scope of studies at the college by presenting speakers on timely and enduring issues.
