A study by Boston Children's Hospital explored how stressful life events impact internalizing and externalizing symptoms of psychopathology in children. The research found that the timing of stress, type of trauma, and family resilience significantly influence mental health outcomes. Stressful events in early childhood were linked to internalizing symptoms in girls, while both sexes showed externalizing symptoms. Family resilience, particularly a sense of control, mitigated these effects. These insights could guide the development of interventions to reduce the impact of early stress on mental health.
Raoul Peck's new documentary, "Silver Dollar Road," explores the history of Black land dispossession through the story of the Reels family in North Carolina. The film highlights the importance of land ownership for Black Americans and the systemic barriers they face in maintaining ownership. It exposes the legal loophole of heirs' property, which has led to the loss of 90% of Black farmers' land in the 20th century. The documentary focuses on the Reels brothers' fight to keep their land and their unjust incarceration, while also celebrating the resilience and pride of the Black community. Peck hopes the film will raise awareness and inspire action to address the ongoing issue of land dispossession.
