All brain functioning is "state-dependent" - cognition, emotional, social, and motor functioning shift with the internal state of the individual.
In this presentation, professor, clinician and researcher Dr. Bruce Perry will focus on exploring principles of state-dependent functioning and the key neural systems that mediate each person's stress-response capabilities. He will then explain how unpredictable and overwhelming stress, distress, and trauma impact an individual's functioning and the implications for brain development in children. Reserve your spot today <https://nami-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5daLYeCkQ-KFVSayblu-UA#/registration> and submit your questions for our guest expert through the registration form!
