Detailed Description
Adolescents and neuroscience: What do helping professionals working with young people need to know about the adolescent brain?
This 3-hour workshop will offer participants the opportunity to learn about the most recent developments in neuroscience related to the developing adolescent brain and how this knowledge can equip professionals to work more effectively with young people facing a range of risks and harm.
The session will be hosted by Prof. Kristine Langhoff whose work has focussed broadly on trauma-informed practice and young people at risk of extra-familial harm. She will pose a series of questions to Dr. Liat Levita, a neuroscientist who has specialised in the adolescent brain.
The session will be structured as a question and answer forum, where Kristine and Liat will bring together key contemporary issues in adolescent safeguarding, trauma-informed practice, and neuroscience. Professionals will have the opportunity to interact, ask questions, and apply learning whilst reflecting on their own practice throughout the session.
