Last week, I had a coffee with Ramona Alaggia, an associate professor and the Factor-Inwentash Chair in Children’s Mental Health at the University of Toronto.

The discussion soon shifted to a new podcast Prof. Alaggia had just put together that looks at the forever feuding Gallagher brothers from the band Oasis, who grew up in a home that experienced serious domestic violence. And so today in The Conversation Canada, Prof. Alaggia writes about Oasis and how it’s connected to her research. “We are learning that resilience can help kids ‘come through the fire’ of domestic violence — an important finding, given what the Gallagher brothers faced then, and what children still face today,” she writes.
