Childhood	Adversity	Research	Pioneer,	Dr.	Nadine	Burke	Harris,	to	Present	at	
Hanna	Institute	
	
Dr.	Burke	Harris	to	speak	about	her	best-selling	book,	“The	Deepest	Well:		
Healing	the	Long-Term	Effects	of	Childhood	Adversity”	
	
SONOMA,	CA	—	February	20,	2018	—	Hanna	Institute,	a	leading	provider	of	trauma-informed	
care	training	in	Northern	California,	today	announced	that	Dr.	Nadine	Burke	Harris,	founder	and	CEO	of	
the	Center	for	Youth	Wellness,	will	present	at	the	Institute’s	March	8th
	Networking	Breakfast	on	the	
campus	of	Hanna	Boys	Center.	Dr.	Burke	Harris	will	speak	about	her	first	book,	The	Deepest	Well:	
Healing	the	Long-Term	Effects	of	Childhood	Adversity,	an	Amazon	best	seller,	People	Magazine	‘Book	of	
the	Week.’	The	event	is	free	and	open	to	the	public.	
In	“The	Deepest	Well”,	Dr.	Burke	Harris	takes	readers	along	on	a	journey	of	discovery,	from	
national	research	labs	to	her	pediatric	practice	in	San	Francisco.	The	book	represents	important	hope	for	
preventing	lifelong	illness	for	individuals	suffering	from	the	effects	of	Adverse	Childhood	Experiences	
(ACEs)	and	those	who	care	about	them.	Research	from	Dr.	Burke	Harris	indicates	that	ACEs	deeply	
impact	the	human	body,	changing	biological	systems	with	effects	that	can	last	a	lifetime.			
“In	order	to	effectively	prevent	and	treat	serious	health	conditions	like	heart	disease,	cancer,	
diabetes,	and	asthma,	we	need	to	understand	what	is	causing	them,”	said	Dr.	Burke	Harris.	“And	the
science	around	toxic	stress	is	telling	us	that	for	many	people	it	starts	in	childhood.	While	I	believe	that	it	
is	critical	that	pediatricians	understand	and	screen	for	ACEs	in	a	primary	care	setting,	enough	kids	had	
been	sent	to	my	clinic	by	teachers	requesting	a	diagnosis	of	ADHD	and	medications	that	I	knew	that	the	
doctor’s	office	wasn’t	the	only	place	that	needed	fundamental	understanding	of	toxic	stress.”			
“We	are	fortunate	to	have	Dr.	Burke	Harris	visiting	our	campus	to	talk	about	her	book	and	
research	on	the	power	of	childhood	adversity,”	said	Brian	Farragher,	CEO	of	Hanna	Boys	Center.	“This	
discussion	could	not	come	at	a	better	time	for	our	community	and	our	nation	as	we	continue	to	deal	
with	both	private	challenges	and	high	profile	events	that	will	have	lasting	impacts	on	our	children.	We	
invite	everyone	who	has	an	interest	in	the	health	of	our	children	to	attend.”	
	 Additional	details	about	the	event	are	available	at	https://www.hannacenter.org/event/hanna-
institute-networking/.	For	questions	or	more	information,	contact	Leslie	Petersen	at
