In this session, we’ll explore how understanding adolescent brain development can shift the way adults respond to teen behavior. Together, we’ll discuss practical ways to stay grounded, communicate effectively, and create safe spaces where young people feel comfortable asking for support.

Focus Areas

• Adolescent brain development

• Being an askable adult

• Practicing empathy for teens — and for yourself
