SYNOPSIS

This webinar is part 2 of the CBABC Science-Informed Practice Series.

The first part of our CBABC Science-Informed Practice Series discusses Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), a root cause of life-long health and social challenges for children and families across North America. The impact of ACEs on brain development and brain health can either lead to future well-being challenges or long-term, intergenerational trauma.

This second session brings together experts from the health, social services, and legal sectors to talk about the link between brain health and client emotional and decision-making capacity. Learn how conflicts in family, criminal justice, and estate matters impact a child or family’s well-being and how reducing adversity in the legal process can build resilience for children and families to navigate their legal issues.

About Dr. Linda Uyeda
Dr Linda Uyeda obtained her medical degree and completed her family practice residency training at the University of British Columbia. She works at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital and several Fraser Health youth clinics. Her personal journey into the science of true healing began after her medical studies were over. 18 years ago, with the birth of her first child, she became interested in human development. Like many new parents, she felt confused about advice she was receiving from family and friends and turned to the scientific community for answers. She expanded her medical education to explore neuroscience, parenting, trauma, and attachment and was fascinated by what she found. An unexpected incident at work in 2015 combined with a family illness over the next several years, drove home the fact that nurturing resilience and compassion are key to wellbeing. After incorporating this information into her own parenting approach and her medical practice with great success, she has begun educating others about what she has learned.
