Learn from the Experts Families and Depression: Coping with Adversity while Nurturing Resiliency in Children William R. Beardslee, M.D. Director, Preventive Intervention Project at Judge Baker Children’s Center and the Prevention of Depression Study

Dr. Beardslee is the author of Out of the Darkened Room - When a Parent Is Depressed: Protecting the Children and Strengthening the Family, and is a nationally recognized expert on families and depression. Dr. Beardslee’s long-standing research interest has centered on the development of children who are at risk due to severe parental mental illness, and focuses on the ways in which selfunderstanding helps individuals cope with adversity and helps families cope with depression while nurturing resiliency in children.

What We Can Learn from Military-Connected Children Ann Masten, Ph.D. University of Minnesota and President of the Society for Research in Child Development

Dr. Masten studies competence, risk and resilience in human development, focusing on the processes leading to positive adaptation and outcomes in young people whose lives are threatened by adversity. Her work centers on the goals of building a better science of resilience and to inform efforts to promote positive development, reduce risk, ameliorate suffering, and facilitate recovery in children and families threatened by negative life circumstances.

Charles E. Milam Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military Community and Family Policy
