"Ordinary Magic with a Twist: Moving from Individual Resilience to Cumulative Protection"
We all know people who have survived and thrived despite growing up in challenging environments. Why do some people thrive while others struggle? This discussion will answer that question! During this installment of OSU Research on Tap, VP for Research Kenneth Sewell will talk with Dr. Amanda Morris about her groundbreaking work on protective and compensatory factors that families and communities can provide to help children thrive in the face of adversity. Dr. Morris’s studies of brain development in children and adolescents are paving the way for new approaches to understanding and promoting resilience.
