From previous attendees

"A very informative presentation. Jan Montgomery's wealth of experience and insight into the teenage brain was very interesting and there are many things I can take with me and put into practice when dealing with teenagers."

"The session really reminded me to take a step back and think about my own regulation and how that impacts my young people. It also was a good prompt to remind me how my young people might be processing and dealing with on going trauma (that I may not know about)."

"Very interesting stuff! Really enjoyed this. Great overview of 'the teenage brain' and a great reminder as to why young people approach, respond and act in certain ways...and as a result, what we can do to support them."
