10TH ANNUAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE EDUCATION SYMPOSIUM: RESILIENCE DURING A PANDEMIC
Hear from Kenneth Ginsburg, MD, MSEd, a pediatrician specializing in Adolescent Medicine at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, a Professor of Pediatrics at Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine, and Director of Health Services at Covenant House Pennsylvania, an agency that serves Philadelphia’s homeless and marginalized youth.
Dr. Ginsburg focuses on building the strength of teenagers by fostering their internal resilience, a theme evidenced throughout his clinical practice, teaching, research, and advocacy efforts. He empowers adolescents to develop solutions to social problems and teaching clinicians to better serve adolescents and better address behavioral issues. Dr. Ginsburg's bio
Excerpt from the talk:
“The kids who have learned that adults are not a source for safety, without them asking, we give. We take care of them, we nurture them, we protect them. We create safe spaces for them to gather, to be. We ask for nothing in return, except for the privilege to helping them develop. And when we do that over and over again, they learn that some people can be worthy of trust. And they’re worthy of being loved. Let’s move from a place of brain science….to a place of spirituality because that could be more beautiful.” -Dr. Ginsburg
