On Thursday 17th December 2020 Dr Sarah Temple, GP and Director of EHCAP Ltd  presented and then  led  a discussion for webinar with the Association of Child Protection Professionals. The three questions posed relate to the science of adversity and the biology of resilience:

  • what do you know about how we respond physiologically to excessive or toxic stress?
  • why are the first two years of life so important?
  • how can partnership agencies work together to embed this science into communities?
