SUMMARY:Leaving a Legacy of Stories: Passing Wisdom Across Generations
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, Professor Duke will review the research that demonstrates that not only is knowledge of one’s family history interesting and enlightening\, but it is also among the most important things that older generations can pass on. This is because we now know that knowledge of family history is associated with increased levels of resilience\, higher levels of self-esteem\, better psychological adjustment\, and the development of a moral compass that helps people in their journey throughout life.
