Description

The teenager's brain has incredible potential. Yet, if youth and the adults working with them do not understand this powerful organ, we may be missing opportunities to shepherd and mentor the next generation. This workshop will look at a teenager's brain development and its neurological stages, hormonal levels, stress functions, substance and addiction issues, and several other topics giving insight into why teenagers act and feel the ways that they do.
