In this event participants will enjoy a 60-minute play prepared by students from Northwest School of the Arts with vignettes about teen health issues including: dating violence, bullying, substance use, mental health and sexual health. The participants will then be led in a training that brings the issues in the play to practice.
This presentation will explore ethical issues related to working with adolescents, particularly those who have been exposed to potentially traumatic events. Participants will first view the play, The Big Picture, a youth initiative solely written and performed by adolescent youth, in partnership with Teen Health Connection. The Big Picture addresses the current trends and health related issues facing teenagers today, with a focus on positive behavioral and health choices. Building on examples from The Big Picture, the presenter will discuss the unique experience of trauma and potential ethical dilemmas associated with working with adolescents. This presentation also will focus on how clinician specific factors and a trauma-informed care approach are important to consider when addressing trauma experienced by adolescents.
