A second compelling takeaway is Burke Harris's emphasis on resilience factors and the potential for healing even after significant trauma exposure. She discusses how supportive relationships, exercise, mindfulness practices, and mental health support can help mitigate the effects of toxic stress. This perspective is interesting because it offers hope—suggesting that while ACEs may increase risk factors for negative health outcomes, intervention strategies can effectively buffer these impacts and promote healing at both
psychological and physiological levels.
Share two questions that you have about the children, their parents or families, their health, or the Bayview Clinic—something else you would like to know or something you would like to dig deeper and learn more about from the clinic or Dr. Burke-Harris (if you were interviewing her or the children/families).
