Dr. Christine Silverstein was honored to participate in the DPA Pre-Golden Globes Gifting Suite 2026, where she had the opportunity to meet Weapons cast member Callie Schuttera and sign her book, Wrestling Through Adversity.

Weapons explores the devastating effects of childhood trauma, generational pain, and the consequences of adults failing to protect the most vulnerable—themes that strongly echoed throughout this year’s Golden Globes. These powerful narratives closely align with Dr. Silverstein’s work empowering children, teens, and young adults to confront adversity, build resilience, and move from trauma toward hope and healing.
