Working with Teens Webinar Series

If you are just starting out in Teen Services, looking for some best practices, or seeking information to share with other staff members - I highly encourage you to check out Ryan Dowd's 'Teenagers' webinar series on Niche Academy (accessible to Wisconsin librarians through Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction).

All staff that interact with teens would benefit in viewing the introductory webinar as it goes through teen brain development, how teens view/react to situations differently, how to set/enforce boundaries, and how to build a relationship with teens that leads to better outcomes.

The first part of the series Teenagers: Basics of Teenage Behavior may be found here.

Teenagers Part 2: Teens with Trauma/ACES will be held on Thursday, August 14 from 1-2 PM (Central Time). The topics covered will include:

• Types of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) teens can experience
• Impact of trauma on the brain (and their behavior)
• Five tools for working with teens with trauma/ACEs
