THE TEEN BRAIN: RISK AND RESILIENCE
This 2-day course explores how teenagers are perceived, exploring the science of the teenage brain and its implications for practice. Issues include how teenagers understand change, and the role of adults at a time of rapid brain development. It examines teenagers and empathy, communication, risk and risk-taking, as well as signs and indicators of distress, resilience and the role of adults. The second day examines teenage mental health and their digital world, plus the skills needed to respond to trauma and to work with vulnerable young people.
