A Life's Course The Load, The Impact

Film Screening and Panel Discussion Featuring: Toxic: A Black Womans Story

In collaboration with Healthy Starts Magnolia Project, please join UF Health Jacksonville as we embark on an initiative to increase awareness of the impact of toxic stress, helping women and their caregivers identify coping mechanisms to fight the effects of stress on health and well-being.

Data shows that African American families experience maternal and infant complexities and loss much more than any other racial group. Toxic: A Black Womans Story shares the story of Nina, a woman in her second trimester of pregnancy. The film will serve as a backdrop to a conversation on stress, its impact and resources to help mitigate it.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with leaders and physicians from UF Health Jacksonville. Lunch will be provided. Health screenings, blood pressure screenings, free blood pressure machines (while supplies last), and other resources will be available.
