​​​​"breath"

The song “breath” was written and produced by Ezekiel Miller and Isaiah Conaway, two students at the High School for Recording Arts (www.hsra.org). This song was inspired by the research being done around the causes of traumatic stress on children's brains ages 0-3 years old. This information needs to be delivered to the youth to effect change and Ezekiel and Isaiah chose music to be the vessel. Watch the video here.

A Dialogue for African American and American Indian Community Advocates

​Examination of “adverse childhood experiences” (or early trauma) give both individuals and communities new insights into their health disparities and negative outcomes. Such research as the ACE Study, brain development science, and what we know about resiliency can shift more thinking from blame to prevention. Here are some valuable presentations:
