RESILIENCE: THE BIOLOGY OF STRESS & THE SCIENCE OF HOPE | Second Screening

Hosted by Step Forward

The Community Foundation of North Louisiana and Step Forward will host a screening of RESILIENCE: THE BIOLOGY OF STRESS & THE SCIENCE OF HOPE, a documentary that chronicles the birth of a new movement among pediatricians, therapists, educators and communities, who are using cutting-edge brain science to disrupt cycles of violence, addiction and disease. The screening of the critically-acclaimed documentary will take place November 1 from 5:30-7:30 pm at the Robinson Film Center.

David J. Fowlie, film critic for Keeping it Reel says “It’s a film that is necessary viewing for a deeper knowledge of what you or others have gone through in life and also serves to enlighten us closer to a greater empathy and understanding for others in our community.”

About Step Forward

Step Forward is an emerging cradle-to-career “collective impact” initiative to improve outcomes for children and youth in the six-parish MSA of Bienville, Bossier, Caddo, DeSoto, Red River, and Webster parishes. Established in 2013 by the Community Foundation of North Louisiana, Step Forward is based on a nationally recognized model using data-driven research and proven results to organize collaborative action partnerships around outcomes for children, beginning at birth through post-secondary education/training to employment in a sustainable, living wage career.
