This three-hour training will use a trauma-informed lens to dissect the teenage brain and how it develops and changes as a result of mental health struggles. It will begin with an overview and explanation on the teen brain and its development. Specific techniques will be taught that will help counselors support well-being with students through mindful awareness practices. Participants will also learn current trends regarding teens’ mental health, strategies, and tools for using mindfulness-based practices to support treatment of depression, anxiety, and general mental health, as well as how to explain the brain to teens in a relatable way. This workshop will leave participants with greater understanding of the teenage brain and with very specific, usable skills to bring to their practice or their schools.
