'Everyday courage' can inspire health

The California Endowment conference, “Health Happens with Everyday Courage,” brought together celebrities and community leaders to promote community-based approaches to chronic problems like stress and trauma. Creative people and community members shared tales of resilience. "Traumatic stress, especially without the right support, is strongly associated with increases in the risks of lifelong physical and socio-emotional health problems." Attendees spoke about the different ways that individual courage and peacemaking can inspire collective action, in a video on VoiceWaves.
