Community Conversations: "What Happened To You?" A Reading & Discussion Group

Please join us to read and discuss "What Happened To You?  Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing" by Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph.D., and Oprah Winfrey.  Discussions will focus on the book's four main concepts:  brain development, trauma, resilience, and healing.  Donna Wallace, Director at APL, and Lynne Fuller from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Maine will facilitate this discussion group. 

This specific book was selected as a community-wide book read and discussion to support the initiatives of the Androscoggin Community Health Stakeholders' Coalition.  The goal is to improve the resilience of Androscoggin County youth and adults affected by Positive and Adverse Childhood Experiences (PACEs).

This program is offered in partnership with Auburn Adult Education.  Classes will meet on Thursdays from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. from October 3 through November 7 at Edward Little High School.  To register, please go to http://www.auburn.maineadulted.org/.  Online registration opens on August 1, 2024.

The books will be free to participants through a grant from the Maine Humanities Council.
