Practical Solutions to Adolescent Behavior Problems
Emphasis will be placed on providing you with strategies parents can use with their teenagers. Part 2 of the series will focus on preventative practices within adolescent mental health and evidence-based yet practical solutions to adolescent behavior problems including noncompliance, aggression, and delinquency. Other topics include:
- Effective communication with adolescents
- Social skill building
- Discipline
- Restoring nurturance and tenderness in the parent-adolescent relationship
At any given time up to 20% of children and adolescents meet diagnostic criteria for a psychological condition. This accounts for the majority of mental health referrals in primary care. Countless studies have pointed to a need to improve adolescent mental health programming. Earning your Adolescent Mental Health Certificate will provide you with practical approaches when working with adolescents experiencing mental health problems.
