There is a growing understanding

  • f the impact of stress on human

brain development. It’s equally important to

  • tackle root causes of toxic

stress.

  • help parents and caregivers

buffer their children from toxic stress responses.

  • build protective factors in

families and communities. The conversation needs to be about more than understanding and intervening. Community-level strategies are needed to support families, reduce and address adversity, and promote healing. Toxic stress results from unrelenting and unbuffered stress and can cause lifelong suffering.

Parents as Agents for Change

Parents and caregivers organize to:

  • Develop strategies to prevent and respond to

stressors in their families and communities

  • Learn, develop and share strategies to respond

to the impact of toxic stress in their children and families

  • Develop leadership skills and

partner with program, system and community leaders
