Adolescence spans the second decade and a half of the human experience. It is almost always full of wonder and awe yet under certain circumstances it can present extreme challenges to the entire family system. This workshop will address our growing understanding of the adolescent brain and the importance of recognizing that adolescents are not young women and men but are rather big kids. Attention will be given to adolescent learning, psychosocial development and vulnerability to substance use disorders. There will be a brief overview of adolescent treatment implications and a brief examination of how we as adults can help our youth reclaim their path to success.
