Healing Connections: What Happened to You? Book Club
Bright Start Connect invites parents, caregivers, and expecting parents to a free, six-week book club centered on the powerful book What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing by Dr. Bruce Perry and Oprah Winfrey. Together, we’ll explore how our early experiences shape us—and how understanding those experiences can lead to healing and growth.
This series will use thoughtful discussion guides developed by The Children’s Trust Fund Alliance. We’ll talk about trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), how to support young children who may have faced hardship, and how reflecting on your own story can be a path toward self-compassion and interrupting generational cycles of trauma.
What to Expect:
- Free book provided: All participants will receive a complimentary physical copy of the book. (Audiobook optional and not included.)
- Guided discussions: Sessions will be led by Dr. Natalie Nordlund, a licensed psychologist with deep experience in childhood development and trauma.
- Supportive space: Open to parents and caregivers of children ages 0–8 and those expecting a child.
