This slideshow is meant to start a discussion on some of the biggest challenges in mental health for teens. It also links to a slideshow that I use as a pear deck, or a slideshow that has interactive questions.
The way teens see the world is due to a changing brain. A hallmark of the teen years is to start caring more about what your peers think. I talk about what is going on and some helpful tips to help people who work with teens.
