Webinar, April 25th, 2023, with Families for Depression Awareness in Waltham, MA. Free and open to the public. In this webinar, Deborah Vinall, LMFT, Psy-D, defines trauma and discusses its impact on long-term wellness.
* She will also cove the signs of trauma in teens, effective treatment approaches, and practical strategies that caring adults can use to encourage teen mental wellness.
* By the age of sixteen, approximately one-quarter (25%) of children and adolescents have experienced at least one traumatic event. The effects of trauma can be debilitating, making it difficult for teens to cope with life’s daily struggles. Adults can help by providing a safe, supportive environment and access to useful resources. With your help, teens can begin to heal from the trauma they have experienced and move forward in life.
