“What Happened to You?” A Dialogue with Dr. Bruce Perry

“What Happened to You?” A Dialogue with Dr. Bruce Perry

N/A
August 31, 2021

Through deeply personal conversations, Prevent Child Abuse America board member and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry and Oprah Winfrey offer a groundbreaking and profound shift from asking "What's wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?" in their new book What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing. Focusing on understanding people, behavior, and ourselves, this new book opens the door to resilience and healing in a proven, powerful way.

Please join us August 31, 4:00–6:00 PM (Central), for a conversation between Prevent Child Abuse America president & CEO, Dr. Melissa Merrick, and Dr. Perry, who will discuss the new book and dive into core issues of this important work for the prevention of child abuse and neglect.

"Through this lens we can build a renewed sense of personal self-worth and ultimately recalibrate our responses to circumstances, situations, and relationships. It is, in other words, the key to reshaping our very lives."
—Oprah Winfrey
