About This Event

Adolescents differ from adults in behavior, problem solving and decision making. There is a biological explanation because the brain continues to mature and develop throughout childhood, adolescence and well into early adulthood. Therefore, the teen brain works differently from adults when they make decisions or solve problems.

Join us for this experience as we:

•learn research-directed strategies to maximize cognitive and life skills development in stress and emotional management, decision-making and problem-solving, planning and prioritizing, academic achievement and healthy lifestyles;

•explore practical considerations for incorporating adolescent brain development research into youth programming.
