Even the healthiest adolescent can drive a parent nuts. That’s adolescence! Teens coming from adverse histories can be even more challenging. This entertaining session will look at adolescence from a number of perspectives including developmental, psychological and biological ‐ and factor in what happens when healthy development is compromised by trauma. Numerous verbal interventions that help parents connect with at‐risk teens will be introduced, as well as a host of positive, strength‐based limit setting strategies. We’ll also explore other hot button issues that often arise in the parenting of at‐risk teenagers. The goal of this session is: having participants leave with hope and joy related to raising of teens who have experienced adverse histories. Guest Speaker:  Youth Care Specialist Charlie Appelstein, M.S.W.
Described as “the best youth care trainer in America” by Robert Lieberman, former president of the American Association of Children’s Residential Centers, Charlie has devoted his entire adult career to helping children and youth struggling with emotional and behavioral challenges and those who guide them.
