How protective factors afford better outcomes for kids following childhood adversity with Tracie Afifi

My guest this episode is Tracie Afifi, Professor in the Departments of Community Health Sciences and Psychiatry at the University of Manitoba and an Associate Editor of the journal Child Abuse & Neglect. Tracie’s research advances our understanding of adverse childhood experiences and protective factors by examining, on a macro level, what makes an experience positive or negative and looking for other experiences that fit those criteria. She and I discuss her research and answer a listener's question about whether kids today are more or less resilient than previous generations.
