About the Event

Adolescents and young adults are an exciting and creative population to work with for clinical providers, and yet also present with difficulties and complications that are often misunderstood. This webinar will help clinicians address resistance to providing services to adolescents and young adults as well as explore their development. We will address challenges that young people face such as sex addiction, pornography and internet issues which create challenges for youth within the context of a changing culture. We will review relevant ethical codes to the adolescent and young adult population. Research articles from the last 5 years will be discussed, including developmental and neuroscience studies. Lastly, implications for practice with this population will be presented.

Live Event
This live online event will be held as a Zoom Webinar. Attendees will have the option to interact through features such as the Chat and Q&A, but cameras and microphones will not be enabled.
