Webinar Description

Webinar Theme:
Adolescence is a time of rapid change for the teenage brain. The result is often a whirlwind of big feelings, risk-taking, reward-seeking and personal growth. All these changes make the teen years a time of vulnerability but also a time of tremendous opportunity. This webinar will share practical strategies to help the young people in your care reach their potential. Participants will learn techniques designed to help teens reconnect a stressed brain, effective ways to manage challenging situations and communicate with teens experiencing big emotions.
This webinar will cover the following:
  •  What science has taught us about the teen brain.
  •  The impact of rapid brain development on teen behaviour.
  •  Risky behaviour and reward-seeking.
  •  How to support teen brain development.
  •  Practical strategies tailored to the boarding school environment.
