This webinar will provide an overview of that research, along with promising practices and protocols that build resilience. We will explore topics including risk, resiliency, and protective factors, along with an examination of the underlying impact that Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can have on cognitive and emotional development and decision-making.
This module will also cover the latest developments in research on adolescent brain development and examine how brain science has changed what we know about teenage behavior to assist prosecutors in becoming more familiar with the developmental approach. This will not only increase their understanding of the general principles, but will also inform their positions on intake, detention, and case dispositions.
