Working with youth in any discipline is understandably challenging when you consider this population’s consistently changing cognitive process. This two 90-minute webinar series will review brain development, stages and tasks, adolescent behavioral indicators and the influences and impact of family, peer, community, and substance use during progressive cognitive stages. 

Effective strategies to help engage and motivate healthy behavior change for youth in health care, drug treatment, or in criminal justice programs will be recommended. 

To receive an "OASAS Certificate of Completion" for three (3) CASAC hours, participants are required to attend both sessions in their entirety.
