Terry Talks: Adolescent Brain Development (Discussion Guide)

"Adolescent Brain Development" is the sixth edition of Terry Talks, a curriculum of ongoing video presentations and supporting materials led by Terry Laura (Health Technical Advisor at Compassion International). The resources are aimed at equipping and encouraging health and child advocates to learn, build on and put into practice their expertise in health, especially as it relates to children in poverty. In this edition of Terry Talks, we will answer the critical question of how to best support adolescents during a crucial time of development, providing you with practical ways to encourage good behavior and strengthen positive brain connections. This supplemental guide is packed with more valuable information on adolescent brain development, as well as discussion questions that you can work through with your team to help define how you can take action to positively impact the lives of the adolescents in your community.
