Road to Adulthood Virtual Training
October 26, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Training Title: Road to Adulthood
Date and Time: October 26, 2021, from 10:00am to 12:00pm
Training Description: Even though adolescents are beginning puberty sooner (around 9-12), their brains are still developing over a longer period, causing teens to appear to be more mature than they really are. The brain is not “done” developing until mid-late 20s. In this training, we will discuss the mysterious teenage brain and look specifically at development, statistics, trauma, and how to promote healthy development and behavior.
Trainer and Credentials: Robin Atkinson, MSW, LGSW
CEUs Available: None
Costs for Non-KVC Staff and Foster Parents: None ($0)
