I just listened to a webinar with Dr. Sara Langworthy through Early Childhood Investigations, about Adverse Childhood Experiences, and how to act as a factor to help with resilience for kids who are experiencing toxic stress and trauma.

In the webinar, she referenced her youtube channel, where she takes on various developmental psychology topics.  I had to check it out when she brought up the video where she talks about resiliency factors in terms of Harry Potter.  Turns out she has created several videos that seem to have been inspired (in style) by John and Hank Green’s vlogbrothers episodes.  The one about Harry Potter and resilience is worth a glance!  So is the one about ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences), if you need an introduction, or if you want to give someone else a quick introduction to the topic.
