Insight Into The Teenage Brain: The Effects of Stress
Aptos High School Parent Education Series is excited to host Dr. Adriana Galvan on Wednesday, March 2, 2016 to discuss the effects of stress on todays teens.
Adriana Galvan, PhD. is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology and Brain Research Institute of University of California, Los Angeles. Dr. Galvan serves as the Director and Principal Investigator of the Developmental Neuroscience Laboratory with an expertise in adolescent brain development.
Casey O'Brien, Principal of AHS and a parent himself, sees firsthand the potential crippling effects of stress on teens and on adults. O'Brien shares "The funny thing is that stress is our perception and reaction to events that happen in our lives. If this is true then we all can learn how to manage our perceptions and reactions (and stressors) to life's events. Anytime we can educate ourselves on how to cope or react in a way that helps our mental health and lessens stress we should take advantage of that education or opportunity. Come see Dr. Galvan where we can learn together, as a community, how to help our teens manage their stress in this difficult time in their lives".
Using brain imaging technology Dr. Galvan has uncovered the effects of daily stress on the adolescent brain and behavior. At this event she will present her most recent findings, discuss the implications for parent-child interactions and describe how to better help adolescents navigate the challenging transition from childhood to adulthood.
This event is open to the public. Please join Dr. Galvan as she examines these issues and imparts her knowledge to learn more about stress on the teenage brain and techniques to cope.
This Aptos High School Parent Education event will be a rich and relevant conversation that gives insight to handle stress during the adolescent years. Additional details about the event are available at http://www.aptoshs.net/ParentEducationSeries.
