Event Description
The teenage years can feel like a chaotic flurry of change--physically, cognitively, and socially-- to say the least. And yet, they also mark a particularly exciting time for identities to form and evolve. Both on and offline, young people not only start to find themselves and their voice, but also learn how to be active, expressive community members. What is happening in the brain during this process? And how are young people navigating an adolescence that now unfolds both in real life and on the internet? This event explores what we can learn from teens to better support them through the “good, bad, and the ugly” of this important life stage.
