This training covers the main changes that happen during the teenage years to the brain and how this can help us understand young people. In the session we will explore: three key areas of the brain, hormones that influence brain function, melatonin and sleep, how the brain works, the social brain, how learning about the brain can help us understand teenage behaviour, and the role of professionals in supporting young people at this time.
