This engaging conversation will be hosted by Anthony Holness, UrbanPromise alumnus and mental health professional — a Doctor of Nursing Practice Candidate, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner student, and Cardiothoracic Surgical Registered Nurse — and Dr. Becky Bryan, founder of UrbanPromise’s Wellness Program and now head of New Jersey’s Office of Resilience. They will explore how healthy, consistent relationships form the foundation of resilience for young people, particularly those that have experienced trauma.
