This animated video, made by Dr. Mike Evans, founder of the Health Design Lab at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, illustrates the impacts of trauma and negative experiences on young children’s brain development and the ways in which healthy cognitive development can be promoted. The video highlights the dangers of poverty to children’s development and the social and caregiver-child relationship-building interventions that can ameliorate the effects of poverty, trauma, and other risks to brain development.
