Dr. Brewster’s talk, entitled Transformational Resilience, focuses on how adversity can help us
reinforce our values and pursue our “dream goals.” She describes her research working with
adolescents and adults, as well as her own experiences that helped shape this new perspective. Ann Brewster, Ph.D., MSW is an Intervention Scientist at Duke University, with expertise addressing the intersection of critical mental health and education needs of adolescents. She has extensive experience developing, building, and sustaining strong collaborative community partnerships focused on addressing the needs of adolescents. She has created a metacognitive skills-based curriculum that improves academic outcomes and well-being among high school students. Her work examining school dropouts who later returned to education has led to a new concept she calls Transformational Resilience. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
