If you’ve ever watched a teenager, you care about, make choices that seemed self-destructive — and wondered why — this webinar is for you.
Substance Use & the Teen Trauma Brain is a free one-hour online event with Bryan Post where we’ll unpack what’s happening neurologically when adolescents who’ve experienced trauma turn to substances, and what actually helps.
You’ll walk away understanding:
• How early trauma reshapes the developing brain’s stress response
• Why dopamine and emotional pain can increase vulnerability to addictive behaviors
• What connection-based support looks like in practice — and why punishment alone doesn’t work
• Concrete strategies you can use right now as a parent, clinician, teacher, or support worker
