Thought Leader & Industry Innovator Webinars

Children living in affluent communities experience high-level and persistent stress as they strive for, often unreasonably, high levels of achievement in response to perceived expectations to achieve success. Researchers have demonstrated that the brain’s response to high level and ongoing stress in children results in a flooding of stress response hormones that overwhelms the body and causes “toxic stress”, which contributes to increased risk of serious health and mental health problems. In this webinar, Corey Hirsch will explain how children living in affluent communities are at-risk for experiencing toxic stress and steps that can be taken to mitigate that risk.
