Youth and Addiction

Originally aired December 14, 2011 Noted researchers and clinicians M. Kay Jankowski, Ph.D., and Harriet J. Rosenberg, M.A. from the Dartmouth Trauma Interventions Research Center discuss an innovative approach to treating adolescents with trauma. By age 18, more than 40% of adolescents report that they have experienced a traumatic event, such as rape or sexual abuse, the suicide of a loved one, physical abuse, a natural disaster, or have witnessed a violent event. Drawing from evidence about effective approaches in treating adults with trauma, Jankowski and Rosenberg and their co-authors S. Rosenberg and K. Mueser have created this new program specifically for adolescents. Designed to be sensitive to the developmental issues of adolescence, this short-term, manualized program focuses on teaching teens how to develop their own coping skills, skills that they can use to deal with the impact of past traumas and future stresses as well. |

The presentation focuses on a description of the program model and lessons learned. It includes a review of the relationship between mental health and addiction; the evidence-base for treatment of co-occurring disorders; and the strategy we used to adapt scientific knowledge to real-world practice.
