20 A growing proportion of the U.S. workforce will have been raised in disadvantaged environments that are associated with relatively high proportions of individuals with diminished cognitive and social skills. Knudsen, Heckman et al. (2006) Proceedings of the National Academy of Science

21 Problems with cognition Communication problems Problems with authority Loss of emotional management Confused sense of justice Lack of basic safety/trust Caregivers Inability to grieve and anticipate future

22 Organizations, like individuals, are living, complex, adaptive systems and that being alive, they are vulnerable to stress, particularly chronic and repetitive stress.
