Description: Each year at least a billion children around the world are victims of adverse childhood experiences (AC Es) that range from physical abuse to racial discrimination to neglect and food deprivation. The brain plasticity of our most vulnerable makes the adverse effects of trauma only that much more damaging to mental and physical development. Those dealt a hand of AC Es are more likely to drop out of school have a shorter life abuse substances and suffer from myriad mental health and behavioral issues. The crucial question is: How do we intervene to offer these children a more hopeful future? Neurobiologist and educator Dr. Marc Hauser provides a novel research - based framework to understand a child's unique response to AC Es that goes beyond our current understanding and is centered around the five Ts - the timing during development when the trauma began its type tenure toxicity and how much turbulence it has caused in a child's life. Using this lens adults can start to help children build resilience and recover - and even benefit - from their adversity through targeted community and school interventions emotional regulation tools as well as a new frontier of therapies focused on direct brain stimulation including neurofeedback and psychedelics. While human suffering experienced by children is the most devastating it also presents the most promise for recovery; the plasticity of young people's brains makes them vulnerable but it also makes them apt to take back the joy wonder innocence and curiosity of childhood when given the right support. Vulnerable Minds is a call to action for parents policymakers educators and doctors to reclaim what's been lost and commit ourselves to our collective responsibility to all children.
