Brain Development in Adolescents and Young Adults:
A Primer for Addicted Youth
Archived Webinar
Understanding basic neurodevelopment is a critical requirement for clinicians dealing with addicted youth and young adults. Current treatment systems for this population are wedded more closely to arbitrary legal ages rather than key developmental markers and needs. The clinical insights from this talk will provide caveats for risk stratification, mental health treatment, and proper conceptualization of patients. Limitations of the medical model and post high school transitions will be additional topics of discussion. All information will be provided in a colloquial, straight forward manner, appropriate for all audiences.
